A dark, epic fantasy romance following a blood witch fighting for freedom, a shadow princess vying for her throne, and a water queen facing a world-ending threat—for fans of Samantha Shannon’s The Priory of the Orange Tree and Tasha Suri’s The Jasmine Throne.

Centuries after the Massacre of the Witches, Nova Aarin has clawed her way out of the dirt. Through death and destruction, she has learned that above all, blood answers to her. After striking a deal—death for freedom—Nova chases all she has ever wanted: her autonomy. For someone who has brought nothing but death, she questions whether her life ever be her own.

Fear is the most powerful emotion of all. Elaia Zune, the Princess of Shadow, knows that, even if she cannot admit it. Her mother and sisters are dead. Her father and the girl she has loved all her life are all who remain. Darkness and death wait in the shadows and fear slithers within her. Will she bend to it? Or will fear bend to her?

Failure was not an option, not for Syrena Savali. The Reyn of Iyvia is dead and the crown is hers, and now Syrena must rise to the challenge or risk losing her position. But her world is not all that is changing—under the ocean’s surface, a rift grows on the seafloor, and something poisonous leaks. Syrena is all that stands between containing it or letting it consume the world.
