Blackmail. Murder. Betrayal. There isn’t anything Teia won’t do to stay alive.
Half Carthan and half Shaylani with the ability to manipulate both fire and water, she is an outcast in her own kingdom and has survived innumerable assassination attempts. All of which have been orchestrated by her half-brother. But once he is crowned king, nothing can save her.
When a rebellion seeks to overthrow the monarchy, Teia grabs at the chance to infiltrate the rebels, locate their base . . . and trade their lives for her own.

Or what if Teia took the throne for herself?
