The book Fireblood opens up with Rudy practicing her fire powers with Arcus, when a memory takes her. The memory of destroying the ice throne and releasing the Minax (an evil darkness that possessive people and make them want to kill their love one because it strives on death). Arcus (Ruby's boyfriend) brings her out of the memory , and tell her that her episodes are growing more frequent. To make her feel better he brought her to a garden made of all ice. He had made it for her to show her that frost is not only harsh and unforgiving but, it can be delicate and welcoming. (Awwwww) But then Lord Ustathius came and took Arcus away for important kingly matters. But before he left he told Rudy to leave the king because she is not helping him, more like making the court hate him. (Thanks Ustanthius for putting THAT in her head)
Later that day Rudy is getting ready ,with the help of her friend/maid Doreena, for dinner, Which Ruby isn't excited about because some of the court will be there. So, Doreena gave Ruby a tip to help make them like her. DON'T LOSE YOUR TEMPER. (That was very helpful thank you Doreena)
On her way to dinner she stops to go into the old throne room. There she has a vison. A vison with a queen with a twisted black crown, and she wore Ruby's face. (ok, what?)
Back at the dinner an older woman said some rude things about Ruby. And Ruby's friend (she has like 3 friends) Lady Marella defended her. So, in thanks Arcus asks her to help plan a party. (I would've just wanted chocolate) Many important people are invited, including the Fire Queen. To try and mend ties with Sudesia , where the fire bloods live. (where Ruby's family is from)
After she left the dinner she went to find Brother Thistle in the library. He was looking for information on the Minax when she founded him surrounded by books. She told him of her vison in the throne room and he told her that he believes that it's because of her connection with the Minax. And they think maybe it could send her images at will. (hmmmm)
Brother Thistle told her that he found a way to destroy the Minax once and for all. Only an Minax can kill a Minax. (easy enough, just get another Minax) But the the only other Minax is in the fire throne in Sudesia. And you can't go there without being killed. (ok so not easy)
(Ok lets skip a couple days.... and you are at the ball) Days later Ruby is at the party hoping the Fire Queen will come. Ruby was by the food table eating lots of sweets (yummm) when a boy close to her age came up to her. He told her that he was the dignitary of the southern side. Ruby and the dignitary went outside to the garden to get some air and talk about peace treaties. When a man came out of no where.
Soon they were surrounded, the men wanted to kill Ruby! The dignitary raised his hands and took out the attackers with fire, (wait pause here. WHAT?) he was a fireblood and his name was Kai. He told Ruby that he had lied and really he was a fireblood prince from Sudesia. (omg) And he wants to take her back with him to meet the Queen. (omg omg) Kai leaves her with a ring and 1 week to decide.
