The Queen’s birth was supposed to bring peace, but it only caused animosity between her and her husband’s Mistress. Now, with the Àraid rising in the west, and enemies surrounding her in court, Cerynn is torn between her desire to strengthen her powers, and the maddening need to squash the woman distracting her husband from the war rising against them. But conflict rules his mind, tormenting him with what must be done while filling him with longings from the past to confuse his loyalties.

After a prisoner begs for their life and is granted mercy by The General, his queen is forced to confront her rising jealousy. Jealousy over this prisoner lying for his favor. Jealousy over the mistress he obsesses over. Jealousy that everyone is more powerful than she is. The mounting need to prove her worth distorts the world around her, and blinds her to the powerful position her husband has given her. While the young queen grapples with this urgency to secure the crown upon her head, another kingdom slowly falls into decay waiting for their own ruler to step up and fight for them.

The General’s experiment worked, and he once again has the upper hand. Determined to reestablish his control in his kingdom, The General uses a new, unknown power to remove the threat to his crown. Oblivious to her husband’s manic slaughter, Cerynn seeks out her own people, longing to unite the Àraid and Rak and end the war. She’s forced to confront her own power-hungry decisions face to face as she steps into the Àraid world, and realizes she must pick a side once and for all.

As the General teaches his new queen how to thirst for blood, a long-lost, powerful race scrambles to crown and accept a queen of their own, knowing if they wait any longer, they’ll be forgotten forever. One queen embraces her place in a cruel world. The other longs to recreate a world that accepts her people. Somewhere between the luxuries of being queen and the betrayals of those around them, both queens must choose: Forget the power coursing through their veins and lose themselves, or stand up against a kingdom that's hunted their kind since before they were born.
