To save her adoptive mother from a deadly Slumber Curse, fiery outsider Lyra assumes a false identity and infiltrates Ravenhollow, an elite magic academy whose champion can unlock the cure. But its pairing system binds her volatile, emotion-fueled flames to Caius, an icy heir raised to prize perfect control. Forced to compete together, the hostile opposites discover that his frost can hold her fire—and that rivalry is turning into something far more dangerous. When jealous Isolde sabotages Lyra and exposes her forged identity, their bond, their future, and Caius’s inheritance hang in the balance. In the championship final, Lyra must claim her true power and trust Caius, forging ice and flame into a force that could win the crown, awaken her mother, and give them both a new beginning.
