1675. In a city choked by shadow, hope can only be purchased with blood and forbidden magic.
Alistair is a gentle scholar haunted by silence. His only purpose is to save his little sister, Anna, from a mysterious, consuming illness. When he discovers an ancient, banned text, it leads him to the only cure: the mythical Blood Amulet, an object rumored to stop death itself-but only for a terrible price.
Alistair's desperate quest for the Amulet throws him onto a dark path and into the orbit of two dangerous adversaries:
Seraphine: A cold, seductive witch driven by an insatiable hunger for ultimate power. She offers Alistair the magic he needs, seeing the naive scholar as nothing more than a valuable tool to be used and discarded.
Silas: A ruthless and dogmatic Captain of the City Guard, whose hatred for all magic-and those who wield it-is absolute. He hunts them both, determined to burn the Amulet and anyone who touches it.
Trapped between the witch's magnetic pull and the hunter's cold justice, Alistair must choose how much of his soul to sacrifice. His love for his sister is driving him into a partnership that will demand betrayal, power, and a final, dark embrace.
Will the scholar save his sister, or will he simply become the first scar on Seraphine's path to absolute darkness?

They call her the Lifeless Queen. Crowned at seventeen, Empress Priscilla of Calmaria rules with a heart carved from stone and a hand that never trembles. Fear, not love, holds her empire together-and she has no intention of ever showing weakness. But even gods demand worship. And her most loyal worshiper is Lucas Darcy, Calmaria's greatest knight. A commoner who rose through blood and battle, he kneels only to her. For the woman who owns his soul, he swore his sword, body, and soul to the Empress who chose him. To the world, he is her blade. To himself, she is his goddess-the only reason he breathes. Lucas will endure pain, humiliation, even death. He is her sword, her shadow, her dog. But in a world where love is weakness and devotion can be fatal, loyalty is never simple. Lucas is willing to suffer, bleed, and die for a woman who may never return his love. And Priscilla, bound by her throne and her pride, must face the one truth she has always denied: that even the coldest heart can burn. A story of power and passion, cruelty and devotion-where love itself may be the greatest betrayal. Priscilla must face the one thing she cannot control: a knight's love that could either save her empire... or destroy it.
