Raven Kennedy's Gild meets Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash in this dark and riveting romantasy following an illegitamate princess caught up in the revenge of gods, the first book in a trilogy about survival, obsession, and the quiet fury of a woman who won't be forgotten.
A marriage forged in blood. A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess who refuses to break.
When Princess Mireille is wed to a foreign king with cold eyes and colder intentions, she expects distance, perhaps cruelty, not chains. Kept imprisoned within her own kingdom's walls, she learns her father's past sins are not easily buried.
But neither is she.
As her world twists into something unrecognisable, Mireille finds herself caught between two powerful immortal beings ? one who wants her obedience and one who wants what little soul she has left.
But Mireille was not born to kneel.
