Love is offered up at the altar of authority.
All that Oraya ever believed to be real has been shattered in the aftermath of the Kejari. She is a prisoner in her own realm, suffering from a devastating betrayal, mourning for the only family she has ever known, and she is no longer even aware of the truth about her own lineage. All she can be certain of now is that she cannot trust anybody, especially Raihn.
Enemies encircle even the House of Night. A transformed monarch, particularly one who was once a slave, is not welcomed with open arms by Raihn's own nobility. Furthermore, the House of Blood is encroaching on the realm and posing a danger to its internal disintegration.
Accepting Raihn's offer of a covert partnership is Oraya's sole hope of getting her country back and exacting revenge on the lover who deceived her. But in order to do that, she'll have to unlock a terrible old power entwined with the deepest mysteries of her father.
However, nothing is as it appears with foes closing in from all directions. Oraya is forced to make a decision between the terrible love that could be her undoing and the brutal realities of gaining power as she examines her past and confronts her future.
