A nation divided by blood and bone. A prophecy whispered to right the wrong. The Draíocht is dying. The gods sleep. And Fate demands one thing...breaking.

War orphan. Royal favorite. Hidden weapon.

Lady Brynn of Reikhaven was raised behind the cold stone walls of the Capital, where secrets rot beneath silken courtyards and loyalty is a game played with knives. Haunted by voices no one else hears and a past no one dares name, Brynn longs for more than the crown's gilded chains.

But when ancient power stirs and a forgotten prophecy ignites in her blood, she's thrust into a conflict older than the realms themselves-where gods sleep, darkness walks, and love may cost everything.

Fate has its own plans. And power never comes without ruin.
