About this book
A blacksmith's apprentice with nothing but a thirst for vengeance enters a deadly competition to cross into the immortal realm and kill the goddess who destroyed her family. When Aris claims an ancient, power-laden sword during the brutal Culling, she becomes far more than just another challenger—she becomes a dangerous wild card that everyone wants to control or eliminate. Navigating a treacherous Starside filled with magical creatures, bloodthirsty immortals, and mysterious new horrors, Aris must rely on Harlan Raker, the very king's guard who once betrayed her, even as she guards a devastating secret that could change everything. This is a high-stakes romantasy that perfectly blends epic world-building with an enemies-to-lovers tension that will absolutely grip you from start to finish.
