Adelina Amouteru should be delighted―she won her crown, she defeated Teren and the Inquisition Axis, she sent the Daggers away. But she has an unforgiving darkness seeping into her thoughts, threatening to destroy all she's gained. Her mind is slowly beginning to crumble―brick by brick she falls. When opportunity arises for her adversaries, Adelina is forced to reopen old wounds. The blade had stabbed them deep and left promises of scars, but nevertheless the newly crowned queen must wield her crown to kill and play her pawns in the game of war. The war not only against tangible opposition, but the imminent destruction fated for all Young Elites because of the talents they harbor. Will trust extend to this within the Rose Society? A weakness now unfolded, would Adelina Amouteru rather die than relinquish her formidable ability? Would she soon betray the ones she loves? Has that warmth of infatuation been diminished with her sanity? Never to be alighted again, her candle might finally have been snuffed out―forever. A crown and a dagger―both bathed in blood. "We were deemed to live young and doomed to die young." ―Anonymous
