Ella dies and wakes among winged lions, hired to keep their royal cubs. In a world where humans are looked down upon, Ella has a gift. She can hear what the cubs never say out loud.
Her first charge is Noah, the ice‑white cub who flinches from his own brother, King Kane. The problem isn’t fear. It’s Kane’s untamed black flame. Ella fixes Noah’s small crises, then teaches Kane to control his power, mending the bond between them. Four more come. She heals them all, until a scheme sends them into a wild magic storm. Ella dives in. Kane follows.
The lowest keeper becomes the most powerful, with five cubs who'd die for her and a king who learned to kneel.
