Only she can stand between the cinders of her once-great nation and the vengeance of a goddess. If she fails, the remnants of her kingdom will turn to ash.

Synopsis
To rise from the ashes, first she must burn.
Nelay was nine years old when she bargained with the fae to save her father's life. That bargain left her without her family and cursed. Now seventeen and a powerful acolyte, Nelay wants nothing more than to become high priestess in the Temple of Fire.
Until the fae Winter Queen, bent on vengeance, invades with her army and traps Nelay's family behind enemy lines. Determined to save them, Nelay finds an unlikely and annoying ally in a smuggler with a penchant for legends. The fact that he's handsome doesn't hurt.
But as her enemy pommels her kingdom into submission, Nelay realizes a bigger power is at play than that wielded by mere mortals. Perhaps the only way to defeat the fae is to embrace the curse they gave her. There's just the little problem of losing her soul in the process.
Only Nelay can stand between the cinders of her once-great nation and the vengeance of the Winter Queen.
