Two weeks after a brutal coup shatters the old imperial line, the new conqueror, Leto Solari vis von Oraine, summons Aetheria's noble clans to Crystal Caverns, the capital of a suddenly unsteady empire. Who she is, where she came from, and why she seized the throne are questions whispered from court halls to harbor markets, yet no one can deny one truth: the new ruler's power is absolute.
Hera Rhiannon don Cerys, a noble omega with a hard-earned second chance at life, wants nothing to do with the capital, the throne, or the mysterious woman whose presence keeps stirring memories she cannot bear to examine. Leto feels impossibly familiar, like a dream turned dangerous, like a name Hera's soul remembers before her mind does.
But the closer Hera gets to Leto, the harder it becomes to deny the desire blooming beneath her fear. Something ancient is pulling them together. Something hungry. Something neither woman can escape.
And when the truth finally comes for her, Hera may discover that true devotion isn't quiet, gentle, or easily buried. Sometimes, true love does not surrender to Fate. It simply rewrites the path home.
