She was never meant to matter… Until she became the most dangerous woman in the empire.
“I didn’t kill the queen,” Elena said, her voice shaking as guards dragged her through the blood-stained hall. “But I saw who did it.”
In Vaelor, truth is a death sentence.
Elena Salvador, a low-born scribe who survives by being invisible, witnesses the queen’s assassination during the sacred Blood Festival. Before she can speak, she is framed for the crime.
Hunted by the empire and abandoned by justice, she flees into the shadows, only to discover a forbidden power in her blood. She can see emotions as colors, secrets no one else can hide.
As she navigates the deadly politics of the noble houses, alliances become weapons and trust becomes a lie.
“You think this empire deserves saving?” the prince whispered, his eyes dark with something she couldn’t read.
But the greatest betrayal is yet to come.
Because the man she is falling in love with…
Is the one who destroyed everything.
When the truth is revealed before the entire empire, Elena must make an impossible choice:
Kill the man she loves and take the throne…
Or let the empire burn with him.
