Publisher's Synopsis
An evil empire. An offer of vengeance. A terrible price.
The Rodeam Kingdom has become a tyranny, rewriting their dark history and experimenting with vile magics on their own subjects. When a woman is taken by the tyrant's agents, the monarch doesn't comprehend the grave mistake he's just made. To rescue her sister from a terrible fate, Arionna agrees to learn the ancient arts under a potent wielder, the mysterious and manipulative Temporer, Melchior. Her power comes with strings attached. When Arionna is given a task that leaves her badly injured, she is found by a man who vows to keep her safe: Galil. Unfortunately for him, when Arionna wakes, keeping her alive-let alone safe-might prove to be too difficult.
