Synopsis
Two great bloodlines-Silverthorne and Vera-once ruled in a delicate balance of power, light and shadow, unity and flame. But betrayal sparked a war that burned across realms, ending in ruin. The Silverthornes were hunted to near extinction, and the veil between worlds-once guarded by ancient magic-was left cracked and bleeding. Scarlet Everen was only nine when it all fell apart. Her memories of that night are hazy: fire in the sky, screams in the dark, her father's final howl, and the feeling of her magic slipping from her like water. Her name, her legacy, her truth-they were buried beneath protective enchantments and the ordinary human world. Raised in the small, seemingly normal town of Thornhollow by her grandmother Lucia, Scarlet has spent years pretending to be just another college student. A girl with secrets. A girl with claws. Now, at twenty-two, Scarlet is beginning to unravel. The supernatural is stirring again-wolves, witches, vampires, and things far darker are surfacing in the halls of Silverthorne University. Students are disappearing. Shadows move where they shouldn't. And a transfer professor, Alec Anders, stalks the edges of Scarlet's world with golden eyes that ignite something long-buried inside her. He knows more than he should. He's dangerous. Familiar. And when their paths collide, Scarlet begins to recover pieces of a childhood she was never meant to remember-and the truth of what she is: not just a werewolf, not just an enchantress, but something rarer. Something hunted. As her powers awaken and long-lost memories begin to resurface, Scarlet is thrust into a web of secrets, betrayals, and burning desire. Torn between the boy who claims to protect her and the one who might destroy her, Scarlet must decide if she's willing to reclaim the fire in her blood... or if hiding in the ashes is safer after all. Because the war never truly ended. And this time, it's coming for her.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

The night the skies turned crimson, the world changed.

Smoke bled through the clouds like bruises spreading across the heavens. The earth cracked beneath ancient powers, and the veil between the living and the damned thinned to a whisper. Supernaturals-once hidden in shadows-were forced into a war none of them wanted, led by two men once sworn as brothers.

Cassian Silverthorne, the protector of balance.

Daelen Vera, the one who shattered it.

Their war scorched everything.

I remember the screams.

The scent of ash in my mother's hair as she ran.

The cold silence of my father's final howl.

And the boy with storm-colored eyes, who tried to save me.

I didn't know it then, but that night rewrote my blood.

Something woke inside me-something old, something dangerous.

They called it a miracle I survived.

They were wrong. It was a warning.

Because I am not just a girl.

I am the heir to the fire they tried to extinguish.

The bloodline they swore to erase.

The secret they buried beneath thirteen years of lies.

And now... I remember.
