Fire burns bright and has a long memory\u2026.<\/i><\/p>\n
Quiet, thoughtful princess Thanh was sent away as a hostage to the powerful faraway country of Ephteria as a child. Now she\u2019s returned to her mother\u2019s imperial court, haunted not only by memories of her first romance, but by worrying magical echoes of a fire that devastated Ephteria\u2019s royal palace.<\/p>\n
Thanh\u2019s new role as a diplomat places her once again in the path of her first love, the powerful and magnetic Eldris of Ephteria, who knows exactly what she wants: romance from Thanh and much more from Thanh\u2019s home. Eldris won\u2019t take no for an answer, on either front. But the fire that burned down one palace is tempting Thanh with the possibility of making her own dangerous decisions.<\/p>\n
Can Thanh find the freedom to shape her country\u2019s fate\u2014and her own?<\/p>\n
