About this book

Sybil finds herself trapped as the king's bride in a kingdom spiraling toward darkness, but her spirit remains unbroken—she's plotting his downfall even as he parodies their past victories through brutal tournaments. When a mysterious, nameless warrior emerges from the tournament crowds, Sybil glimpses a dangerous possibility: someone who might help her dismantle the king's power from within. As the story unfolds across the hamlets of Traum, Sybil must navigate impossible choices between her hunger for revenge and the true cost of salvation. It's a gorgeously dark sequel that weaves together mystery, longing, and the kind of high-stakes romance that will have you holding your breath until the very last page.
