Royal siblings Lirien and Cael share a forbidden bond and the raw, hedonistic magic of the Elderwood. Learning their power is unlocked by transgressive pleasure, they embrace a dark prophecy to overthrow their tyrannical father. Their rebellion begins with seduction, as they corrupt the King's guard in a hedonistic orgy. To complete their transformation, they shatter their mother's spirit, rebirthing her as the high priestess of their new faith. Humiliated, the King abandons his throne to hide in the palace walls, leaving his children to rule. Lirien and Cael turn the court into a temple of indulgence, using their magic to destroy the old symbols of power. But as their reign of pleasure begins, the forgotten King festers in the darkness, plotting a final, desperate revenge.

When Kacia discovers the forbidden magic running through her veins, she is given a choice - pretend her powers belong to her worst enemy, and use them to help him cement his claim to the throne - or forfeit her life. Can she play along for long enough to plot Ash's downfall, or is their fake truce about to turn into something a lot more complicated? ✨ Throughout fifteen years of Lathrian rule, Kacia has dreamt only of her family and her freedom. After she braves a storm-tossed mountainside in search of reunion with a mother she hasn't seen for a decade, she discovers that she has the power to mimic the magic of others - an ability that sees her sentenced to death by the Lathrian Kingdom which controls her people. That is, until the Lathrian king demands she uses her powers to legitimise his stepson's claim to the throne. If she agrees, she can keep her life - for now. Kacia becomes caught between the volatile brothers she didn't know existed and a prince who is more sympathetic than he seems. The choice she makes, between violent rebellion or slow moving negotiations, might alter the fates of her people - but only if she can decide before the bargain that prolonged her life runs out. Family and freedom may be the things Kacia wanted most, but to gain one she might have to sacrifice the other.
