He conquered kingdoms. Now, he’s coming after her.
Cyrus Dolion has claimed his throne, dethroned gods, and fused his soul with the deity of ruin and madness. He’s building a new world-and yet, he cannot reclaim Arden Roosa. She slipped through his fingers once, and he’ll do anything to win her again.
Arden knows exactly what Cyrus wants: to use her body as a vessel for his goddess wife, her will dismantled and rebuilt in his image. She refuses. Sworn to Soal, the Source of All Light, she trains under the formidable Domino Crane, learning to wield powers she barely understands, preparing for a war she didn’t choose, and fighting the most treacherous battle of all: the one inside her own heart. Because Domino sees every scar, every fracture, every mistake-and wants her anyway.
As kingdoms collapse beneath betrayal and divine ambition, Arden finds herself torn between two impossible forces: the emperor willing to destroy the world to make her his queen…and the warrior willing to destroy himself to stand at her side.
About Gena Showalter

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
