She lives a happy life until she discovers the king of her birthplace is looking for her. Cindy attends a masked ball to find out what's going on, which shouldn't be a problem when her godmother knows fairies who can dress her like a princess and hide her identity behind a magical crystal mask that shouldn't be removed. There's just one problem: during her younger years, the prince of the Shattered Bones Island didn't lose a chance to make fun of her. Now, she must seduce him to find out why his royal family is looking for her. That is, if she can find him in a ball with more handsome princes than she can handle. When Prince Solveig insists on taking Cindy back home and removes her mask, Cindy needs to run for her life. Only her friends can get her safely to the Fairy Island where the queen reveals a shocking truth—Cindy has fairy blood, and she's going to turn into a fairy after her twenty-first birthday. However, when Cindy finally wakes up from her transformation, her world comes crumbling down. Someone dear to her is dead, and the Dark King has been released. Racing against time, she needs to save her friends from the deadly elf. With her newfound powers, will Cindy be able to protect everybody she loves, especially the one she doesn't want to forget? In a land where supernatural creatures live peacefully with humans, not everything is what it seems, and some chosen ones are fated to live extraordinary lives and all-consuming love.

From the author of dark fantasies comes an enchanting and dangerous tale of surrender and power. Safeira, a fugitive from a gilded cage and a life of forced submission, finds herself a castaway in a desolate desert. Stripped of everything, her survival hangs by a thread-a thread she's ready to cut. But a flicker of impossible light in the wasteland leads her to a peculiar lantern and a wish whispered into the night. Her desperate plea for an end to her suffering awakens a formidable being sculpted from living fire, a primal force of desire and dominion who will grant her wish-for a price. This is no fairy tale. The master of wishcraft offers her a new beginning, a world born of his touch, where her pain is erased and replaced with a hunger she never knew she had. Bound to his will as his vessel, Safeira is thrust into a reality where pleasure is a tool, and every sense is heightened to an unbearable degree. But with newfound power and purpose comes a surrender to a possessive claim that is both terrifying and tantalizing. In a desert transformed by fire and will, Safeira must navigate a dangerous and sensual journey, her every move watched by a being who has waited an eternity for her. Can she survive this new reality, or will she be consumed by the flames of her own desire? Wish Forged in Fire is a sinfully dark, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance perfect for fans of morally gray heroes, high-stakes plots, and breathtaking world-building.
