He rose from his own pyre with fire in his lungs-and the assassin who killed him bound to his side. Their marriage is a weapon. Their desire is a war. When flame-born prince Lucien Rathmore claws back from death, his kingdom is already carving up his throne. Nyra Silvarin-the blade that put him in the ground-stands in chains, unrepentant.
