A runaway princess. 
A rival mage. 
A love that could burn down the world.

Enemies by fate. Lovers by fire.

What if running away from your destiny led you straight into the arms of your enemy?

A rebellious princess disguises herself as a street rogue named Rune and joins the top Xanthan guild to prove she is more than the object of some prophecy.

As his awakening magic spirals out of control, a brooding Rohesian prince poses as a street mage called Blaze to investigate the murder of a noble family.

When Rune is framed for murder as rumors swirl about the runaway princess sighted in Xanthe, rivals collide, forcing enemies, Rune and Blaze, to join forces as assassins burn the town hunting the princess.

Only by unmasking and defeating a guild’s fanatical leader can they save the town—and Xanthe—at the cost of both their secret identities.

But falling in love was never part of the bargain.
