The killing machine who won over five hundred battles and stripped kingdoms of their rulers. The one and only woman who can make the Emperor's heart waver. Hades von Stein. The one and true ruler of the Moongrave Empire. The monster who made the heavens pour bloddy rain onto every battlefield he walked onto. The man whose obsession burns brighter than any fire. For ten years, Althea and Hades have fought side by side, trusting each other with their lives and sharing moments that drew them closer. On the battlefield, they seemed like the perfect pair: unstoppable together. But outside of it, neither knew what the other truly felt. One night, a disagreement over a battle plan changes everything. Althea wants to act as the decoy to protect him, but Hades refuses, afraid she might die.

She carried out her plan, won the war, and vanished without a trace. The Empire is safe, but Hades is not. He is confused, furious, and desperate. And now, nothing and no one will stop him from finding her... even if the woman he eventually finds is no longer the one who left.

I don't care where you send me-as long as I never have to see Procris Saxon again.❞ Sage smiled faintly. ❝And why would I do that?❞ The blade bit, just barely. ❝Because if you don't,❞ she said, ❝I finish what I started.❞ Silence coiled between them.
