She was meant to ascend to greatness. Instead, they buried her alive.
Solace Partridge was destined to become the youngest Imperial Librarian in Sanfelton's storied history-until jealous rivals framed her, stripped her title, and exiled her to a prison island. Alone, disgraced, and forgotten, she swore revenge.
But fate has other plans-and so does her enemy.
Xīwàng, the Tavla of Beltrit, her country's enemy, rescues her from a fate worse than death, offering her a dangerous bargain: disguise herself as a male Calashan noble and spy for him in the very empire that betrayed her. In exchange, she must play the part of his devoted fiancée and help him escape the golden cage of his godhood.
To survive, Solace becomes Kaashif Rathe. To win, she must bury her heart.
But the longer she plays the Tavla's Frelan, Beltrit's title for his fiancée, the harder it becomes to tell where the lies end and something real begins. Xīwàng is too kind, too clever, too... broken. And beneath her mask, Solace is no longer sure if her vengeance can survive his touch.
In a world of sacred rites and political games, love is the most dangerous deception of all.
