This BookTok sensation is the second in a slow-burn, epic romantasy series following one woman who must risk everything to save her family – and all of mortalkind. Now with a never-before-seen bonus chapter!

The brighter the truth burns, the more it will reveal . . .

With the threat of war looming ever closer, Diem Bellator must now survive the next thirty days by forming a devil’s bargain with her sworn enemies, the royal family of House Corbois. As she dives further into the world of the Descended elite, old prejudices are challenged, and new loyalties blur the line between friend and foe.

While Diem fights to save her people, the secrets her missing mother left behind become increasingly hard to ignore. And, caught between a familiar old flame and an intoxicating new spark, Diem must soon make an impossible choice.

War approaches and dangerous enemies lurk on all sides, but the most deadly battle that Diem faces may ultimately be the fight for her heart . . .
