Twenty-six years ago, the kingdom of Aethon collapsed under the sword of Vaelthos. Its king was slain. Its people scattered. And in the ruins of everything it once was, a woman was taken from her temple, her vows, her life and handed to the victorious king like a spoil of war.

She was of royal blood. A servant of the gods. A king's sister. And none of it had been enough to save her.

From what was forced upon her, the Prince and Princess of Vaelthos came to be.

Isara. Nineteen years old. The beloved daughter of a king. Adored by her father, cherished by her brother, certain of her place in a world that has always felt safe and warm and hers.

She has never had reason to question any of it.

She has never known that she should.

Some debts do not die with the men who made them. Some sins are too heavy to carry alone. Some fates are sealed long before you are born.

And some women are destined to pay for the crimes of the men who came before. Whether they are ready for the truth or not.
