In a world ruled by emotions, war is the ultimate addiction.
The twelve Great Leaders of Aeloria have always kept their emotions-Joy, Sorrow, Fear, Anger, Love, Envy, and six others-separate and stable. But the peace is a lie. A political massacre shatters the delicate balance, plunging the realm into an all-out war fueled by magic and blood.
The emotional bleeding begins: Joy becomes maniacal. Fear becomes paralyzing. Anger becomes unstoppable.
And someone is making it worse.
As their clans tear each other apart in brutal warfare, the twelve leaders are forced into impossible alliances-forged in blood, secured in bedchambers. To survive, they must navigate a world of shifting loyalties, sexual politics, and the relentless advance of the Watcher, an ancient entity that feeds on emotional chaos.
Their only hope lies in the one thing they've always rejected: integration. But for these powerful, prideful, and broken leaders, true vulnerability is a more dangerous weapon than any sword. When war is the weapon and passion is the price, only the integrated survive.
Start reading now to enter a world where the only thing more deadly than the enemy is the one you allow under your skin.
