As war looms, fates collide in a battle of prophecy, vengeance, and power.

Hjorrfold has known centuries of peace and prosperity, but all of that is threatened when a bloodthirsty prince discovers a book of ancient prophecy. With it, he sees a path to the throne. His ruthless ambition will stop at nothing to forge a legacy of blood and glory.

The key to his rise isn't in magic or steel-it's a woman.

Tessa must navigate the prince's court and schemes, but her loyalty is a mask. She hasn't come to be his puppet: she's out for revenge. To unravel the prince's prophecies, she must gather allies and play her part perfectly...or lose everything trying.
