She was commanded to kill him with a single strike to the heart. She didn’t expect her own to betray her.

Sylina has sacrificed everything for her goddess—her soul, her freedom, her eyes. In service to the Arachessen, a cult of the Goddess of Fate, she has gone from orphaned street rat to disciplined killer, determined to overthrow Glaea’s tyrannical king. But when a brutal vampire conqueror arrives on their shores, Sylina faces an even deadlier adversary. Her mission: infiltrate his army, earn his trust, and kill him.

Atrius is a terrifying warrior carving an unstoppable path through Glaea. When Sylina becomes his seer, she glimpses a dark and shocking past—and a side of him that reminds her too much of parts of herself she’d rather forget. Her orders are clear: the conqueror cannot live. But as the blood spilled by Glaea’s tyrant king runs thicker, her connection with Atrius grows stronger—a connection forbidden by her vows, and one that could cost her everything.
