A kingdom fractured by war. A ruler who never wanted the crown. And an emperor who will stop at nothing to control them all.
In a world where mortals and vampires vie for supremacy, no one is safe from the Emperor Marius Bedwyr's cruel grip. Gwynnara Caoilfhionn, once content to live in the shadows as the fabled Silver Scourge, must now step into the light and confront her greatest challenge: a throne she never asked for.
With deadly allies and treacherous foes around every corner, Gwyn's rise to power may be the key to saving her people-or the cause of their destruction.
In a tale woven with intrigue, betrayal, and the looming specter of war, the battle for an empire's soul and a continent's future begins.
