“[A young adult] Game of Thrones full of intrigue, betrayal, lies, and love.”—The Guardian

Mytica’s future hangs in the balance as royals, rebels, and monsters across two kingdoms engage in a deadly race for magic and power.

Betrayed by Melenia and unloved by his people, King Gaius flees Mytica for Kraeshia, where he hopes to make an alliance with the famously cruel and powerful emperor across the Silver Sea. An unlikely alliance with Amara, the sly and seductive princess of Kraeshia, brings the King of Blood closer than ever to his goal of all-consuming power. But little does he know that Amara harbors a magical secret and a ruthless plan of her own.

In the traumatic wake of Alexius’s grisly death, Princess Lucia discovers a brand-new power that makes her stronger—and more deadly—than ever. The sorceress now roams the kingdoms with the newly awoken fire god, the two of them seeking vengeance of very different kinds.

Prince Magnus takes his father’s place on the Limerian throne, forcing Princess Cleo to question the strength of the bond it took them so long to form. Suspicion and distrust brew anew between this star-crossed pair when rebel leader Jonas arrives from the south bringing dangerous news and a mysterious new friend.

Enemies loom and heroes fail at every turn. But when Mytican shores are breached by the most shocking invaders of all, only one warrior can emerge victorious.
