Winter break brings only a brief calm for Princess Mira Quinveil Firebrand and her wife, Princess Cassandra Fairborn Firebrand. Peace was never meant to last—especially not for the fire-born heir of the Summer Court.

Returning to Ravenrest Heights for the final semester of senior year, Mira is balancing the impossible:
life as a mortal student,
life as a fae princess,
and life as one half of a bond that is as political as it is deeply personal.

Cassie stands beside her with quiet strength, newly crowned, newly titled, and still learning how to bear the weight of Consort. Together, they hold the line between two worlds—mortal and magical—trying to carve out something that feels like stability.

But Dominveil is stirring.

Magic shifts under Mira’s skin in ways she can’t explain.
Court expectations sharpen with every passing day.
And the future ahead of them—bright, fragile, and terrifying—burns closer than either princess is prepared for.

Some inherit fire.
Some marry into it.
And some discover that destiny was never theirs to run from.

Cinderborn—the sequel to The Firefly’s Burden—continues the Starveil Saga with rising power, deepening bonds, and a spark that refuses to stay quiet.
