But the road to change is a bloody one, and only Val can unite the tattered remains of the famiglia she once loved.

As an illegitimate daughter of Alexander LeVara, King of Valnessa, Charlotte is no stranger to suffering. Having survived years of ridicule from the Valnessan court, alongside the death of a fiancé and the indifference of her father, Charlotte is certain she can handle anything fate has to throw at her. That, however, was before the imperials invaded. Ranese Dia Amon, hero of his people, is said to have the appearance of a demon and the capabilities of a god.

Their latest conquest--Valnessa--fell with the barest resistance. Now truly alone, Charlotte recognizes that there is no future in which she retakes her home. Even if she could escape imperial imprisonment within the concubines' palace, her people would not accept a maid's daughter on the throne. Revenge, however, is something even a bastard royal is capable of.
