Aven Elridge soon learns that when it comes to magic, nothing is as it seems. Three things have become abundantly clear to Aven: 1. Cillian must be stopped. 2. She has accidentally gained a piece of god magic. 3. She likes Roran way more than she should. Now that the truth is out about the corruption on both kingdoms, and Aven has survived a sacrificial death, she must return to Grimrose and brace for the fallout. Only, she has never been good at the lies and political intrigue needed to maneuver an outcome that doesn’t end with everyone six feet under. To help her, Roran devises a plan to stall his brother while meeting with her in secret, but being alone together could be the deadliest game of all. Up against a god-king with new powers she has no idea how to use, Aven makes a heartbreaking choice once again, believing her fate to be sealed with her duty rather than happiness. If she survives the most dangerous battle she has ever been a part of, will the one she loves ever forgive her? Find out when you read the second installment of this dark romantasy series, perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard and C.N. Crawford.
