Alba Riven is not a hero; she's a weapon forged in fire and flame, kept sharp by the Witches' Council. To the world, she is the High Priestess's greatest disappointment, a chaos project with a tongue as lethal as her magic. She meets every threat with a smirk and a biting retort, using "weaponized sarcasm" to mask the hollow ache of a life spent in chains. But when she's "gift-wrapped" to the Alpha King, Creed Grayson, as a political sacrifice, her iron walls begin to fracture.
Behind the reckless choices and the whiskey-soaked nights lies a woman who would rather burn the world down than let anyone see her break.. With the three thrones. Witches, Wolves, and Vampires, warring for ultimate power, games are being played behind every velvet curtain. Alba is forced to confront a reality where even her own mother would hand her over to her enemies on a platter. As the "soul-deep" bond with Creed pulls her toward a loyalty she never thought possible, Alba must decide whose side she is really on: the Council that owns her, or the King who might just be the only person worth fighting for.
In a world where love is a leash and trust is a weapon, she can either remain the Council's quiet sword or become the wildfire that consumes them all
