A Saga of Sovereigns and Secrets

Darkness gathers, trouble brews. Predator or protector, one must choose.

After surviving a battle to the death and earning new roles serving the Crown, Macella of Shively and Aithan of Auburndale find themselves confined to life in the capital. Determined to ensure their survival, Macella learns to navigate complicated court politics and how to play the Crown's dangerous games. Yet, even as she discovers truths both beautiful and horrifying, sinister forces gather just beyond their realm. With rifts between the realms appearing with greater frequency, unleashing monsters only the Aegises can destroy, only Macella and Aithan ultimately stand between Kōsaten and the forces of hell.

With threats on all sides, Macella can only rely on Aithan and the love they share. Little does she know, King Khari has plans for them both--sinister, secret plans. But they have their own secrets to protect. Secrets about who they are and what they must do. Secrets that the Crown would kill for.

It seems everyone wants to shape Macella's story to their will. But Macella has always been the author of her life. She's determined to reclaim her story--no matter how it's Fated to end.
