In Sundira, beasts do not simply serve kings—they choose them. And bloodlines are the price of power.
 
Princess Surika of Kharathia was raised on ice, prophecy, and duty. When her mother commands her to wed into the fiery Vanakari throne, she must leave behind the frozen kingdom she was meant to rule and enter a court built on ash and flame. There, alliances are forged through marriages, betrayals, and beasts that answer only to the worthy. The moment Ice meets Fire—will it unite two kingdoms, or ignite a war?
 
Across the sea, a Ravolyn maiden arrives carrying an impossible Ugandi egg, her presence sparking whispers of spirit mothers and forbidden unions.
 
In Vanakari, Prime Vorik bears the weight of loyalty to his king, his people, and secrets that could tear his family apart. And throughout the realm, ancient beasts stir and roar again, heralding the return of a prophecy long buried.
 
As the five elemental kingdoms of Fire, Sea, Water, Earth, and Air edge toward conflict, the tourney begins: a deadly game where blood is currency, marriages are weapons, and prophecy is more dangerous than the fire itself.
 
Legacy will bind them. Betrayal will break them. Only the worthy shall bond.
