Perilous: Perilous, Book 1

by Jacee Kaye, Jenn Brady (Narrator)

In a world where power is inherited from the gods, Arden Forger stands before the Emperor of Vallin with undeniable proof that she is one of the nine descendants. He quickly grants her admission to the Crimson Wing to assist him in the inevitable war with Lanthos. But Arden has a secret—she isn’t a descendant, and she certainly has no interest in war. Only blood. As she navigates her way through tricky politics, Arden’s thirst for revenge consumes her, blurring the lines between right and wrong. She must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice for vengeance. Because the more she seeks justice, the further she slips into darkness.
