📚 Book 2 of a completed 4-book series
When the old king of Lumnos falls, Diem sees an unexpected chance to reshape her world—but claiming it means making a dangerous deal with the royal family she's despised for years. Drawn into the shadowy realm of the Descendants, she quickly discovers that the line between hero and villain is far messier than she ever imagined, forcing her to unlearn everything she thought she knew. Caught between the pull of an old love and the spark of something new, Diem races to uncover her mother's fate and confront the secrets that could unravel everything, all while figuring out exactly who she wants to be. It's a rich fantasy romance that swirls with political intrigue, emotional complexity, and the kind of character growth that'll stay with you long after the last page.
