About this book

When the god-touched emperor vanishes into the divine realm, the fate of the Kethran Empire teeters on the brink of apocalypse—and Casia Greythorne finally has her chance to claim the throne she was born for. But returning home to rule means confronting the painful secrets she's spent years running from, and the answers she desperately needs to unite her empire against an impossible foe might cost her everything she's fighting to protect. With the line between mortal and divine crumbling and war with the gods themselves looming, Casia must decide whether the crown is worth the price of her soul. It's an epic, sweeping tale of power, destiny, and the personal reckoning required to save a world on the edge of destruction.

Ethereal orchestral soundscapes meet smoldering indie and dark electronic vibes—think Hozier meets Two Steps From Hell with lush orchestration. Capture the tension between divine destiny and human desire, with sweeping strings, haunting vocals, and moments of sensual intensity that mirror an empire on the edge of transformation.
