Regency-inspired romantic fantasy where thrones tremble, shadows whisper, and the past strikes back.
War with Illisart looms. Within the capital, torches rise outside the embassies' silken curtains. Discontent simmers beneath the gilded halls, as rebellious officers of the Union of Justice cry out for reform—but what they truly want is blood. Glinfiel must navigate a crumbling peace, an opposition led astray by his oldest rival, and a nation poised to turn upon itself.
Meanwhile, Shaliyah faces the return of a nightmare she believed long buried. Count Solamar—the insidious envoy of Illisart—arrives with whispered threats and outrageous demands spoken in the name of his king. And what he offers is an impossible choice: silence or downfall.
As winter closes in, so do the enemies, old and new. Will the Queen Regent and her First Councillor find the strength to hold the realm together—and face the truths that may tear them apart?
