Elara Weir was born with Sunblood, but in her powerful family, she was never treated like a daughter. She was made into a scapegoat: whenever her gifted brother Kaylan failed, Elara paid the price. On the night before the Solar Crown Trial, their mother locks her inside the Moonfrost Chamber, a forbidden room that can freeze Sunblood magic from the inside out. Kaylan begs, their father arrives too late, and Elara dies betrayed by the family she tried to survive. But the scapegoat ritual does not end with death, and her next life may finally set her free.
