"The North has had its trial. Now, it's time for the reign." I close my eyes, letting his heat pull me into a deep, dreamless sleep, knowing that when the dark returns, the world will finally learn that a fire doesn't need a history to burn the sky down.

Final line: “In the end, the blood between us didn’t bind—it burned. And from that fire, only the ruthless survived.”

From the chasm, black flame erupted, swallowing the last of his army, devouring the clearing, racing toward Kael and me. I grabbed Kael, dragging him up, staggering under his weight. “Stay with me,” I begged. “Please—please.” But the fire was faster. It closed in, a wave of death and ruin. And as it reached us—

The flames spat and spat once more, and then the fire settled into a peaceful silence, the embers dying down, but the heat that lay between them remained, a flame that would never be extinguished. The night wore on, still and quiet. And as the stars in the sky twinkled out of the darkness, Emereah knew that, at last, everything was just as it should be. Side by side, they would stand against what came next. And nothing could separate them.

“No! You don’t understand! You need them!” “No,” Nyra whispered. “They need me.” And then she turned, flames licking up her arms, her power surging through the stone floor as the cell began to burn. The old queens wailed. The walls cracked. The floor split down the middle as the memory chamber collapsed in on itself.

Her knees shook, but she stood anyway. “Then let’s stop running,” she said. “Let’s find out what I am.” Aiden looked at her, something like pride glinting in his tired eyes. “Alright, fire girl,” he murmured. “Let’s begin.” They turned away from the ruins, two figures moving deeper into the woods, where the path was uncertain, the danger was real… …but the fire had already chosen.

The choice: burn the book and watch her body burn to ash in your arms, or leave the book and she screams forever. What kind of savior are you?"

Trisha doubted that will happened but if it did, she was gone. The thoughts that it could be her last night if she closed her eyes for as much as a millisecond her discomfort.

Selene groaned softly as she saw the fireball rushing toward her. She closed her eyes, ready to feel the strike, for she knew that wouldn't have had time to escape anyway.
