Description
Her entire life, Iliana has heard that those affected by the hands of the gods will live harsh, grand lives. Unfortunately for her, over the past month she has learned exactly how true those stories are. For Kain, that means learning how to deal with what it means to be a hero. Selflessness and bravery are required in equal measure, as well as the will to step into a role he has never wanted to play. As those around him begin to recognize the string of fate at play, unexpected allies arise, and take actions that will shake the world as he knows it. For Iliana, it means navigating life among the Reotakian peerage. Given to the emperor as a plaything, she must learn to hold her tongue, or suffer at the madman's hands. Unfortunately for both of them, games played by the gods are never easy. The measure of life in the eyes of an immortal will always be different than that of a human. And the death of a hero, necessary for the betterment of the world. **Cover by ItalyChick**
