The sexy and deeply satisfying conclusion to Jessie Mihalik’s captivating romantasy duology, following Silver & Blood.
After shattering the enchanted seal protecting her, Riela finds herself irrevocably bound to the lethal politics of the Blood Court—and the court’s deadly, manipulative Blood King. In order to survive, she must outmaneuver rivals and foil assassination attempts, all while learning to wield the power she never wanted.
Garrick, the Silver King and her temporary betrothed, is her only ally in an unfriendly castle where trust is a dangerous gamble. Together, they face ancient magic, forbidden love, and a tyrant’s vicious schemes—including a court determined to tear them apart. But even as their betrothal starts to feel more real and less convenient, secrets unravel until loyalty and betrayal hang by a single thread.
Power always comes with a price, and as Riela slowly unearths her magical ancestry and fights to control her newfound abilities, she must decide: will she rise to claim her place in the Blood Court, even if it means sacrificing everything she loves, or will she fall to the plots of those who seek to destroy her?
Because in a world where roses conceal thorns and secrets lurk beneath stone, Riela’s choice will shape the fate of kingdoms.
