THOUGH LILAC'S BIRTHRIGHT
made her the Queen of Renovia, and marriage made her the Queen of Montrice, she soon learns that being a ruler does not mean making the rules. For Lilac, taking the throne means giving up the love of her life, the kingdom's Chief Assassin, Caledon Holt.
Worse, Cal is forced to leave the castle when a horrific set of magical attacks threatens Lilac's sovereignty. Now Cal and Lilac will have to battle dark forces separately, even though being together is the only thing that's ever saved them.
In the riveting conclusion to Melissa de la Cruz's fantasy duet, love and magic are at war, and victory rests on a knife's edge.
