Neressa has spent her entire life surviving the brutal halls of the Slayer Academy, where weakness is punished and mercy gets you killed. Feared across Magda for her lethal skill and vicious reputation, she has become exactly what the world cold, dangerous, and impossible to control.
But when a political conspiracy drags her into the path of a cursed prince, ancient magic, and a war threatening the kingdoms, Neressa realizes the true monsters may not be the creatures lurking in the dark… but the men sitting on thrones.
Now hunted by enemies on every side, Neressa is forced to confront the darkness growing inside her before it consumes everything she loves.
Because vengeance has a price.
And gods help anyone who tries to make her pay it.
