A vengeful daughter. A young king. A plot meant to destroy both. Once the Morene dynasty ruled over Vathen with fear and cruelty, but they have long since fallen, brought to their knees by the people and faded, now only a memory of a tragic past. Now, those who were slaves and at the mercy of the royals rule Vathen, blessed with magic, and those who used to rule, are their servants, stripped of all their titles and power. Meira Ilvyan is an exception - she was born into a family with powers only to be powerless. But not everyone is pleased with those new changes and, as a descendant of the last Morene queen, Meira is the perfect opportunity for the old kingdoms to bring back what they consider the normal order. The world is quick to change even if some aren't ready to give up their traditions, Ithasan being one of them. But Tristan Aralkyn was never meant for a peaceful reign as many prefer his stepbrother, heir to an entire empire that could unite Ithasan and Beladrion once and for all. Nobles conspire, waging war and one wrong decision could throw Ithasan into civil war. Meira and Tristan are thrown into a dangerous world, both with more enemies than they could have ever imagined. Blood will be spilled, heads will fall, loyalties will be tested, friends will become enemies, and in order to survive both have to be ready to sacrifice anything. Or to die, betrayed by those they trusted more than anyone else. Cover made by @Crisulet_19
