Heiress of death. Property of a power-mad king.

Caia never wanted the gift of death, so it’s too bad the king plans to make her a tool of war. When she discovers her older sister and only remaining family has pledged herself to the cruel king for this purpose, Caia must decide.

Abandon her sister and her choice. Or join her to become the king’s second dark commander and spill the blood of those she loves.

But something is happening to Caia. The same something that drove their mother to madness. If she can’t master her death magic in time, something else will master her…
