Bleed for the crown – or break for it.

In a world shaped by fire and fear, where power is both inheritance and curse, two heirs bound to opposing legacies are drawn into a struggle over what is worth saving… and what must burn.
General Frejara has spent her life waging war in the name of her mother – the Sorcerer Queen who wields her ancestral magic as both weapon and leash. Born into the only bloodline that commands the power of the Dragon Fire but never manifesting it herself, Frejara instead earned every inch of her command by bleeding for it in battle.
Yet as each campaign pulls her deeper into a web of loyalty, duty, and the dangerous secrets her mother has spun around her, the General begins to question the cause she has given her life to – and the cost of every victory in service of it.
Mathias has the Sight – a curse left behind by the long-absent gods, inflicting visions of blood and fire upon those unlucky enough to inherit it. Feared for what he sees and pitied as each revelation steals a piece of him, he is shunned for visions everyone believes will one day drive him mad, just as they have every Seer before him.
As the Queen’s war spreads, Mathias volunteers to cross enemy lines in a desperate act of reconnaissance, determined to take action in a life where so little has ever been his to choose.

One beginning to turn against all she was raised to defend, the other searching for a purpose he can call his own, the soldier and the Seer are drawn toward a reckoning neither is prepared to face – forcing them to question everything they believe about power, prophecy, and each other… and whether the legacies they inherited still bind them, or are at last ready to burn.
