Ruby has concealed her powers of heat and flame from the cruel Frostblood ruling class her entire life. When her mother is killed trying to protect her, and rebel Frostbloods demand her help to overthrow their bloodthirsty king, she is desperate to have her revenge. Training with the rebels-- and the infuriating yet irresistible Arcus, Ruby is captured and forced to compete in the king's tournaments that pit Fireblood prisoners against Frostblood champions. Will she have a chance to destroy the ruler who has taken everything from her-- including the young man she has come to love?
