They were born into empires built on secrets.
But only one will live to claim the throne.

Cassian Thorn was born to lead. To kill. To avenge. When he takes Ivy as his bride in a blood pact to settle old scores, he expects submission. What he gets is a woman with claws, fire, and secrets of her own.
Their marriage is a war.
Their love is a weapon.
And their enemies are closer than they think.
But in this game of saints and sinners, the most dangerous enemy is the one you trust.
As the past resurfaces and the bloodlines begin to fracture, Ivy must choose: burn the legacy to the ground-or become its queen.
