Lyra Vale is a liar, a thief, and the Crimson Accord’s most valuable asset. They own her freedom, her future — and now, they want her to steal a legendary gemstone from the crown of the Aurion King.

The job should be simple: get in, get the gem, get out.

But nothing about the palace is simple.
The gem isn’t just a gem.
The prince isn’t just a mark.
And the stranger in the shadows isn’t just watching.

Drawn into a glittering world of court politics and deadly secrets, Lyra walks a knife’s edge — seducing the prince, outwitting the nobles, and playing a game she can’t afford to lose. Because the stone she was sent to steal holds more than power, it holds prophecy. And Lyra’s not the only one who wants it.

When betrayal strikes and fire falls, Lyra will learn that some destinies can’t be outrun.
And some flames — once lit — refuse to die.
