Synopsis
Banished from her life of luxury and her high-ranking status in the Credulan Court, Carys Elletara had no other option than to become comfortable in her life of servitude. Working as a farm-hand, far away from the only other life she knew, her world comes crumbling down when the King and Queen die unexpectedly. To make this tragedy even more life altering, Carys is dragged back to Credula (kicking and screaming) to marry the heir to the throne. Damieren Thepyra is the crown prince of a crumbling kingdom on the cusp of war and the biggest thorn in her side. Once best friends, once lovers, and now strangers having to set aside their differences and a pain-filled past in order to rebuild their kingdom. Faced with the traumas of their past, healing, forgiveness, and discovering oneself, The Rise of the Darkest Flame is tale of second chances and finding power in truth.
