When the kingdom of Praiton began overthrowing the surrounding kingdoms of Krigor, no one knew why.
As a healer for Praiton, Deya believed that there was no higher honor in the realm. But when Deya is imprisoned after learning an enormous secret that threatens the regime, her love and loyalty for her kingdom is shattered. Beaten, and tortured, a new, terrible power is unleashed inside of her, a power that she cannot control.
Forced outside of the only kingdom that she has ever known, Deya has no choice but to team up with a band of unlikely rebels that all have one thing in the desire for the destruction of Praiton. One of those rebels is Caelum, a male who spent most of his life inside a prison. Having lost everything to Praiton, Caelum hates everything and everyone from the kingdom…Including Deya. But Caelum has a secret, one that could turn the tide of the war, and one that keeps him pushing everyone and everything away.
As Deya struggles to recover from the trauma of her imprisonment, she is forced to face where her allegiance with the kingdom that betrayed her, or with the male who could destroy it forever.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was so enjoyable!!
Deya and Caelum are a beautiful duo of characters that have suffered extreme cruelty and reflect trauma in a very real way. Val and Rayner are two lovable side characters that I am very excited to read more about! They balance Caelum's moodiness and Deya's shyness perfectly.
If you're looking for a very sexy book, this might not be for you. If you're looking for an intriguing story of war, trauma, friendship, honour, loyalty, and a side of slow burn romance that will have you frustrated and also giggling, you've found the perfect book!
The romance aspect of this book is very integral to the plot but doesn't feel overpowering of the fantasy themes. There is an explicit adult scene but it's written poetically instead of overly graphic. It was a beautiful amount of love and also desire.
I will 100% be continuing this series and if you're contemplating reading this book, I highly recommend it!!
