Elara Moreau has spent her life hiding the truth-about her power, her past, and the fire that burns within her. But after the events that shattered her quiet existence, there's no turning back. Chicago's supernatural underworld is watching, and the factions that once stayed in the shadows are now closing in.

Torn between the human life she's built and the dragon-shifter destiny she can no longer deny, Elara is thrust into a dangerous game of power and deception. An elusive vampire with secrets of his own offers her a path forward, but trusting him could mean walking straight into the enemy's hands. Meanwhile, the city grows restless as rogue magic spreads, and the fragile balance between worlds teeters on the edge of chaos.

With enemies circling and allies uncertain, Elara must decide where she truly belongs-before both worlds decide for her.
