In Valkathra, a kingdom ruled by secrets and ambition, Cessalie Aelira Draevin is determined to break the chains of tradition. As the rightful heir to Ferendia, she refuses to accept the law that denies women the right to rule. Cunning and relentless, she'll do whatever it takes to claim her birthright. By her side is a nameless cursed sorcerer with a fractured heart, drifting through life without a home. Drawn into Cessalie's dangerous plans, he becomes a pawn in her relentless pursuit of power. She manipulates his magic and his trust, using him as her weapon in a deadly game of deception. But in a world where trust is fleeting and betrayal lurks in every shadow, Cessalie's ambition may be her undoing. As she navigates the treacherous path to power, the line between hunter and prey begins to blur, and she must decide whether she controls the darkness-or if it controls her.
