Synopsis
One empire. An age-old hatred. Two girls risk everything—even their souls—for their people. Revenge failed her… Slaying the cruel Alrenian empress brought freedom to her people, but Lo found only guilt. Dedicating her life to her god and vowing to never kill again, she seeks to end continuing injustice in her empire. But partnering with a mysterious thief and his band of vigilantes forces her to question her path. Are the forbidden feelings she has for this man truly wrong? And can there ever be peace in the empire without bloodshed? Revenge fuels her… Since her mother, the empress, was slain, Jalie has been a prisoner in her own palace. Alone. Powerless. Until a goddess grants her a terrifying and brutal gift that could be her key to reclaiming her throne. But the young soldier tasked with guarding her is not what she expected. Tension brews between them, blurring the line between enemy and friend—or maybe something more, and challenging everything she’s ever believed about her enemies. This first book in a YA epic fantasy series is perfect for fans of enemies to lovers, morally grey characters, lush world-building, and forbidden love. Set in the same world as Schade’s Silent Kingdom trilogy, this series can be read on its own.
