About the book
From the bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a dystopian fantasy that is hauntingly beautiful. In this world, ancient powers are rising and a brave young woman must make a choice between the ruthless prince who tempts her heart and a destiny that could cost her soul.
Upon her return to Fort Bala Royal Academy, Arden Roosa finds that everything has changed. No longer just a lady-in-training, she is now known as the girlfriend of High Prince Cyrus Dolion - the woman who brought down a king. Her reward for this? Constant surveillance by guards and the attention of a royal executioner with his own secrets. But Arden has secrets of her own. As a double agent moving between different worlds to decipher forbidden prophecies, she is aware of what is to come. Dormant gods are awakening and a war is on the horizon. And with just a spark, everything could go up in flames.
However, things do not go as planned. Arden's days are filled with grueling trials and her nights are haunted by dangerous questions. To make matters worse, Cyrus - the fierce warrior she may have feelings for - is slowly falling apart, losing himself bit by bit, becoming a stranger in front of her eyes. Desperate to save him, Arden forms an alliance that will change everything...and chaos ensues. Now, the gods are no longer sleeping. They are on the hunt. Time is running out, with the end drawing closer than anyone realizes. Unless Arden can prevent what is to come, Cyrus will unleash true evil - and she will lose him forever.
