She’s fighting for her kingdom. He’s protecting her heart. With danger closing in, will they have the strength to save each other? Princess Yesenia has just inherited the throne after her father’s untimely death. Evidence points to her stepmother’s hand in the poisoning, but now someone is targeting Yesenia. As the new queen of Fireblaze Kingdom, she must unmask the culprit while proving her worth as a leader. But to do so, she’ll need the help of the one man she promised herself she’d never rely on Santiago. Santiago’s only dream is to rise as a general, yet his loyalty to the crown keeps him by Yesenia’s side—even as old feelings resurface. With a foreign prince vying for Yesenia’s hand and tensions rising within the kingdom, Santiago is caught between duty and the ache of longing for what can never be. When Yesenia’s trusted maid is poisoned and clues point to a conspiracy greater than anyone imagined, she must seek aid from allies in other kingdoms—though their presence only stirs memories of broken promises and fractured alliances. Torn between her responsibilities as queen and her desperate need to uncover the truth, Yesenia finds herself walking a fine line between triumph and ruin. Can she untangle the web of betrayal threatening her kingdom before it’s too late? Or will her reign end before it truly begins?
