The Scorched Throne

Ten years ago the kingdom of Jasad burned, its magic outlawed and its royal family murdered — or so the world believes. Sylvia, the Jasad Heir, survived by burying her identity in an ordinary village, never revealing her forbidden magic. When Arin, the ruthless Nizahl Heir, tracks rebels to her doorstep, a moment of desperate anger exposes her power and forces a dangerous alliance: help him hunt the rebels, and he will let her live.

Sylvia is sharp-tongued, fiercely self-reliant, and burdened by a decade of hiding who she truly is. Her magic is volatile, her loyalties constantly tested, and her refusal to be a symbol makes her a more compelling one. She is a survivor learning — painfully — that survival is not enough.

Across two books Sylvia moves from hunted fugitive to reluctant champion, her hatred of Arin slowly giving way to something far more dangerous. The duology traces her path from self-preservation to acceptance of her legacy, culminating in a war where she must choose between the quiet life she craved and the kingdom that still needs a queen. Themes of identity, belonging, and the cost of power run through every chapter.
