“It’s finally time for you to suffer for a change, Princess. Time for someone else to take charge of this miserable city.” Vee is a survivor. For generations, the poorer citizens of the Eternal City have made do with living off scraps. Under Queen Edelin’s reign they suffered. They starved. And all too often, they died. Now—two years after the night of the Blood Moon and with a dangerous new power growing inside of her—Vee won’t stand back and let city’s strays suffer any longer. She’s ready to take a stand. She’s ready to take revenge. And she knows exactly where to start ... with the heir to the throne, Princess Amalia.
