When a devastating secret threatens to shatter everything between Sera and Nyktos, she finds herself walking a razor's edge—caught between duty to end a tyrant king and an undeniable, scorching passion that refuses to be ignored. As dangerous attacks escalate and the Primal power of Life grows within her, Sera realizes she's running out of time in more ways than one, especially when the one thing that could save her during her Ascension is the very emotion Nyktos insists he cannot feel. With enemies closing in from all sides and a summoning to the treacherous Court looming, Sera must navigate impossible choices: Can she trust the tortured Primal who once was her target, or will her need to survive force her to become something far more powerful—and far more dangerous? Brimming with high-stakes adventure, sizzling chemistry, and the kind of emotional depth that'll have you rooting for these two despite the odds stacked against them, this continuation delivers everything that made the first book impossible to put down.
