As the lone Iridescent Peacock, Seraphina was raised for a future already decided: a husband among three swan beastmen and a Golden Phoenix heir. But betrayal shatters that plan, and she publicly ends the betrothal. With no fear of the rumors, she chooses Auren—the feared, last surviving Golden Phoenix. The three friends who once stood closest to her are pushed into madness by what they lost, discovering too late that the woman they dismissed was never meant to be broken.
