But instead of exiling her, Cassian keeps her close under his roof, under his protection, under his control. When rebellion threatens to tear the kingdom apart, the council demands a political union. Marriage is the only way to silence the south. Hatred becomes proximity. Proximity becomes tension. And tension becomes something neither of them can afford. Nyxara carries a power older than the throne itself. Cassian is immune to it. In a palace built on blood and strategy, love is not weakness. It is war.

More than any dagger, treachery tears. Once the respected Commander of the High Guard, Arden Solis knew devotion like a second skin until the day it was torn away. Driven from the one home they have ever known, Arden follows those she once guarded, accused for treason and thrown into exile. The Council chose earlier its scapegoat. Arden is portrayed as the orchestrator of a horrible attack on Eldermire using fake documents, false witnesses, and carefully thought out conspiracies—forgotten proof. Still, the real genius lurks in the background and pulls strings from the highest degrees of power. Arden is left without direction, hence he creates a strained relationship with Kellan Veylan—the only person who understands the depths of the dishonesty but also the one who may have begun it. Their shared history twists in love and heartbreak, trust and deceit. Kellan says he is innocent, having been put up just as Arden was. Arden could, however, believe him or is this another game of dishonesty? As they find the truth, the two fugitives are trapped in an ancient prophecy—one that outlines a cycle of betrayal spun directly into the fabric of Fate. Two betrayers, one designed to rise and the other punished to fall. Eldermire's deadliest danger is not the one they expected; the more he investigates deeper Arden finds: The debate really goes beyond simple fairness. It goes for override of Fate itself. Arden now needs to choose whether to fight for vengeance or flee the fate destined to catastrophe. But for those who dare question Fate, she has never been kind. In a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal is inherent, how one might escape a destiny already written in blood?

"They took your crown, little queen. Let me give you his kingdom's ashes instead." Lady Evelina Ashcroft was intended to be queen. Engaged to Crown Prince Adrian since childhood, groomed for the throne, beloved by the people—until the night of her wedding when she discovered her own sister in her fiancé's bed. But the betrayal didn't end there. Her sister Isolde claimed Evelina had been doing unlawful god-magic, and the entire court believed it. Her title was stripped. Her engagement transferred to Isolde. Her family disowned her openly, calling her a blight on their house. In one night, she lost everything—her crown, her love, her name, her future. Cast out with nothing but the clothes on her back and a death sentence hanging over her head, Evelina flees into the one place no one would dare follow: the Forbidden Ruins of Ashenfell, where the Betrayer God Kyroth was sealed after he tried to burn the royal line to the ground three centuries ago. She doesn't expect to survive the night. She doesn't want to. But when her blood touches the ancient seal—spilled as she considers taking her own life—she unwittingly awakens him. Kyroth, the God of Vengeance and Broken Oaths, imprisoned for adoring a mortal queen who was executed by her own people. He's devastatingly attractive, wickedly beguiling, and devoured by three centuries of rage. Their relationship forms instantaneously, violently—a blood bargain that ties her life to his freedom. He can't leave the wreckage without her. She can't die without pulling him back into incarceration. They're adversaries by birth, comrades by necessity, and something far more terrifying by fate. "You want revenge?" he asks, his fingers tipping her chin up to meet eyes like dying stars. "I'll train you to burn the world. But know this, little queen—gods don't love. We consume. And I've been starved for three hundred years." As Isolde prepares to marry Adrian and take Evelina's throne, Kyroth teaches Evelina in the forbidden magic that once nearly destroyed countries. But the more time they spend together, the more the ruins expose their common, unthinkable truth: Kyroth's mortal queen didn't die. She was Evelina's ancestor, and the bloodline he tried to rescue has finally returned to him. The gods want him dead. The crown wants her executed. Her sister wants her erased from history. And the tie between them is waking a power that could either save the kingdom or destroy it to ash. Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love makes it deadly.
