Everyone who still mattered in the underworld had come. And not one of them had been told what she was about to say. She didn’t pause. She didn’t ask permission. She simply spoke. "Legacy is a coffin." The room stilled. "Bloodlines have made us weak. Inbred. Predictable. Every war you’ve fought was born from your grandfather’s grudge. Every alliance you’ve honored was bought with your father’s guilt. You call it tradition. I call it stagnation." Murmurs. She stepped forward.

They went back into the hall, and after about three hours of back and forth and numerous counting, Levi was finally announced as the winner. Levi did not waste time as he fired his uncle on the spot for betraying him. "You think this is the end?" Eleanor came to Lila and Levi as they stood together. "Oh my goodness, it's cute that you think this is the end. I mean, you pissed off one of the most influential men in this region, and you think this is the end?"

But I can see the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw clenches every now and then. “Still holdin’ onto some shit about your brother?” I ask, keeping my tone casual. Legion glances at me, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Legacy’s lost himself. Whatever he’s gotten involved in, it’s not about family anymore. He used to care, but now?

The name is like a knife twisting in my gut, but I don’t let it show on my face. I’ve gotten real good at hiding that kind of pain.

Just reached over, brushing a wet strand of hair behind her ear. “They took it,” he said finally. Quiet. Devastated. Savannah closed her eyes. “Weren’t we supposed to hold truth in our hands?” Outside, the world blurred into smears of gold and black. Streetlamps became ghosts on the windshield.

Inside the bundle were six items: A broken crest pin, shaped like a waning moon A silver dagger wrapped in prayer ribbon And a sealed letter addressed to Racheal S. of Ashfall She opened the letter with trembling hands. It was her mother’s handwriting. > “If you’re reading this, then the fire has touched you too. I never wanted that. Never wanted you to carry the legacy of a vessel. But we were born with it, you and I. And if the Flamebound rise again, they’ll come for you—just like they came for me.”

The roar that tore through the coastal air was not merely sound; it was a physical force. It shattered the remaining glass in the discarded armor of the fallen retrieval team and sent a flock of gulls screaming into the grey horizon. Lucian was no longer hunting; he was asserting his domain. I stood on the northern lip of the delta, my hands buried deep in the pockets of my cloak.

They had rigged the high-pressure gas valves—the same ones Vincent used to power the estate’s furnaces—into a makeshift explosive perimeter.

There was anger, shock, a violent sense of being betrayed, and a panic he didn't even want to admit. After all these years, he had grown used to Yuna always being by his side. He had always believed that no matter how upset she got, she wouldn't leave. He thought that letting her keep her title as Luna and their mate bond was enough.

On its cover: Legacy Activation — Conditional He looked at the skyline thoughtfully. “They think the fire is over,” he murmured. It wasn’t. It was evolving. Back at the penthouse, silence settled heavily. “They’re shifting to legacy,” Alessandro said quietly. “Yes.” “And legacy is not perception.” “No.” “It’s power.” She met his gaze steadily. “And power doesn’t burn.” “It restructures.”

Chapter 1 I'm lying on my couch, staring at the ceiling of my apartment. Today, I turned eighteen. I also learned that I've become Tim Frost's heir. If something happens to him, I'll inherit his entire fortune. I don't know how much he has, but I've heard that it's substantial.
