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.
