Gray-eyed. Futureless. Outcast. Princess Xandra Sapphirian has never been fully accepted by her people or her family. But when her cousin and uncle do not return from their mission on the Lyft sphere, the princess must prove her worth-to her family, her people, and most importantly, herself. With her future absent in the flames, it's vital she makes her potentially short life count.

Rochan was born a boy, a sin according to his spiteful, domineering mother, who just so happens to be the Empress of Lyft. Now that he's of age, the empress wants to ensure her legacy by auctioning him off to the most "worthy" girl in a round of deadly games. Rochan longs for freedom, and his long-buried defiance begins to surface with the arrival of a beautiful fiery princess.

Will Rochan's feelings for the princess break him free? Can Xandra become Lyft's champion and survive? In this return to the Celestial Spheres, watch a new generation of Sapphirians follow in their parents' footsteps. According to the family motto, it only takes "Love. Flame. Draca." to conquer an entire sphere. Simple, right?
