When Silver Met Flame

A Crown of Silver and Flame Prequel Novella

By: Janice Lam

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She was the Order's perfect archivist. He was the fae prince sent as a political hostage. Their love was forbidden. Their research was treason. Their separation was inevitable.
Naeris Starborn has spent her entire life following the rules. As a Junior Archivist at the prestigious Celestial Citadel, she's on track for promotion, respect, and everything she's ever worked toward.
Until the night she catches Prince Dain Evernight breaking into the forbidden archives.
She should report him. Arrest him. Do her duty to the Order that raised her.
Instead, she lets him go. And returns the next night to see what he's researching.
What she discovers shatters everything she believes: evidence that the Sundering—the forced separation of three realms a thousand years ago—wasn't necessary protection. It was a deliberate power grab built on systematic lies.
As Naeris and Dain uncover dangerous truths in stolen moments between ancient texts, something else grows between them. Something that makes her silver magic bleed into gold when they touch. Something the Order would kill them both for feeling.
But integration magic isn't the only forbidden thing happening in those archives. And when their conspiracy is discovered, Naeris faces an impossible choice:
Betray the man she loves to save his life, or remain loyal and watch them both die.

A prequel novella to Crown of Silver and Flame. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and fantasy romance that breaks your heart before putting it back together.
