Sins of Royalty

A KINGDOM HAS FALLEN, AN EMPIRE IS RISING.

In Zyrathis, all magic comes at a price. In a world where magic is bestowed in two different ways, one is loved, while the other, is persecuted. Divination wielders wield power destined by God. A Divine Right, where the price for their power is their birthright. The more powerful, the higher the title, and heavy lies the crown. Infernalia pay a different price for theirs. It is a forbidden, dark magic. And the price for using the Infernal Arts is one much crueler. It is used by monsters and twisted souls who have long forsaken their humanity.

However, this is the story that Valthana weaves.

The victors of war spin whatever tale of history they please.

LEILA DUCASSE's blood courses with vengeance. It drowns her very being and drives her every action. Mercy, second chances, hesitation and the myth of love are foreign concepts to her. She believes they make one weak and vulnerable, and she refuses to let her guard waver to these emotions. She has no reason to believe in them either.

An heir to a fallen kingdom, and now an assassin slowly making her way up the ropes of Valthana's corrupted. The kingdom responsible for the death of her family. And she doesn't plan on stopping when she slowly begins to creep near royalty.

But there's been a change in development. There's a man with familiar golden eyes and sun kissed skin who keeps getting in her way.

When PRINCE AYAZ is given a proposition that could fix all his problems and give him everything he thinks he could ever dream of he takes it, before realizing that doing so means agreeing to do something he swore he'd never do again. Kill. The proposition simply being to get rid of an assassin who seems to be getting too close to his father's friends in return for his freedom. However, his own personal issues towards the matter of death isn't the only thing making this task specifically difficult. Having her alive may happen to be the beginning of his downfall.
