The legends are awake.

Loss and defeat have rattled Mariah and her court. They've taken refuge in the Kreah deserts, but peace continues to evade them. Mariah must navigate her grief, her crown, and the sensitive politics of the continent, and she must do it without the most important person in her life by her side.

Andrian has always known his birth was a curse-one that Kol will never stop reminding him of. But the dark god has plans for him. Andrian is willing to endure anything to keep Mariah safe, even if that means giving up all hope for himself.

The world lies at a crossroad. The God of the Sun must be stopped before freedom is lost to the stars. It will require a decision that could splinter Mariah's court forever ... and even her light may not be enough to outshine the sun.
