No
power is greater than the one you’re willing to
sacrifice.
Princess
Violetta Flame lives her life according to rule, but those rules
require her to pay a heavy price. Haunted by a devastating loss, she
longs for freedom. When a handsome ruler takes a special interest in
her, she senses greater things lie ahead, but behind the handsome
façade lies a dark secret – one that can usurp her efforts and
cast her back into the life she detested.
The
throne was never promised to Emperor Ryore Frost, but now that he has
ultimate power, his world is filled with possibilities. Citizens bow
at his feet, but their fleeting adoration is no match for his
obsession with the young Flame Princess. As his feelings for the
staunchly independent princess grow, a new threat emerges, bent on
undermining his efforts and betraying his sensibilities.
When
past tragedies, malevolent behaviour, and strong wills collide, which
will reign supreme?

In
order to save the ones you love, you must be prepared to risk it all.
Five
years have passed since that fateful day at the Frost Estate and
Violetta fails to shake the memories of her husband’s demise. Her
daughter Elinor cannot know of the part she played, but
that is only one of the Flame Queen’s problems.
With
a mysterious storm blanketing the whole of Peradon, Violetta, with
the help of Lord Jork and Xyhoni, sets out to uncover its source. The
last thing she expected was for her only child to vanish and for a
troublesome rumour to be circling Peradon.
At
her wits end, Violetta must journey through the four realms in search
of anyone who can help to find her daughter, but- is she willing to
accept the help of a traitor?
A second shadow fell across the marker. Violetta twisted, snatching a dagger from beneath her robes.
'Move and I'll gut you where you stand!' Her chest heaved, her power coming to heel, sending flames sparking from her fingertips. She could feel the intruder's heart speeding, every beat betraying their mortal fear.
Rage became a crimson film that stretched across Violetta’s vision. She peered through it to find her blade poised against a tan throat.
'Xi?'
Emerald eyes glistened before her, registering cold steel pressed tight to his flesh.
Violetta eased the pressure off of the blade. She felt it slide out from between her fingers. I almost...almost-
'I'm sorry,' she whispered. Her blade clattered to the floor, her knees buckling beneath her frame. 'I'm so sorry.'
'Highness?' Strong arms caught her waist, pulling her back onto her feet. 'Steady now.'
There was a strange sense of helplessness in Xyhoni’s eyes, as though she alone kept him alive.
'Xi, I keep-'
A finger brushed against her lips.
'I know.' He pulled her close, embracing her with a tenderness she adored.
'I can't stop myself from picturing his face, and those eyes. Elinor can't know. She just can't! It’s her birthday. She should be happy, celebrating.’
Xyhoni drew back. Violetta gazed upon him with tear-streaked eyes. Her body tingled as the tips of his fingers brushed her arm, before returning once more to her waist. He gripped the fabric of her robes, causing her mind to swim with a rush of emotion. She clung to him, reaching a hand up to cup his cheek- leaning in.
'No.' Violetta pulled his hands from her body. 'I'm sorry Xi, I can't.'
Those beautiful eyes reminded her of nature- of freedom.
'He shouldn’t have died- not at my hand.’ She made to turn when Xyhoni snatched her wrist.
'Don't say that- not ever!' Xyhoni's eyes burned within their sockets. 'You had no choice.'
Violetta shrank back, stung by the heat of her love’s words.
'No choice? Xi, I watched him burn by my hand!' Her eyes darted to his lips: she couldn’t bear to hide her feelings any longer.
'It’s all too much- the memories, us.'
Xyhoni’s fingers slid back through her sunshine hair.
'I know, but it will be all right.'
'When?' Violetta tried to halt the flow of tears but the look in Xyhoni's eyes broke her. They were cold and emotionless, just as Ryore's had been that day.
