Description
In a realm fractured by power, bloodlines, and buried gods, seventeen-year-old Xandria has never known peace-only the cold steel of her blades and the weight of a mother's death she's never stopped blaming on the Saints. Haunted by a legacy she didn't ask for and drawn into a rebellion known as the Illiax, Xandria is forced to navigate a world of ancient magic, brutal tournaments, and ruthless ambition. Her closest friend, Demetrius, is slipping into darkness; her mentor hides lethal secrets; and the mysterious Saint Erebus-god, murderer, myth-may hold the key to everything she's lost. As alliances shift and the crown tightens its grip, Xandria must decide if she's a weapon to be wielded or a force to be reckoned with. But when love, vengeance, and fate collide, the question isn't whether she'll survive. It's who she'll become when everything burns.
