The Blood Brotherhood Clan is under attack and dark secrets from my past begin to claw their way to light. Now I must fight beside the man who almost destroyed me. As the merciless prince leads his army on the battlefield, I wage my own war in the treacherous court, where smiles are sharper than blades and words can change the fate of a dynasty. If either of us falters, both of our Clans will be doomed. With my trust in pieces, despite his groveling and promises, I’m torn between vengeance and forgiveness. But the blood oath silencing his tongue cuts deeper than any betrayal and mercy is a weakness I can’t risk. The fierce bond between us doesn’t care about human heartache, though. It tightens its grip and brings us closer than we thought possible. We’re cursed to rise and fall together–if one of us dies, the other will follow, and the darkness hounding us will destroy everyone and everything I love.
