To save Trova, she must defy death itself-even if it damns her soul. Ana Angevire was never meant to survive. Tortured and driven into exile, she has fought too hard to watch Trova fall into the hands of Marek Caledon. The hour of reckoning approaches. If Caledon gets his hands on the last artifacts of Ethira, he will become a god-and no one will be able to stand against his vengeful wrath. Now Ana must sacrifice more than she's ever had to before, defying the laws of life and death to save the prince she loves. But meddling with fate comes at a cost, and her choice will bind her and Leon in ways they never imagined. As Leon's magic unravels, his mind fractured by nightmares he cannot escape, Ana begins to fear that the price she paid to save him might have changed her forever. With a kingdom on the brink of ruin and her own humanity hanging in the balance, Ana must learn to trust herself and the love that binds her to Leon in order to face the ultimate test... Can she defeat a monster without becoming one herself?
