In the glittering capital of the Altarian Empire, a single drop of poison is enough to shatter a fragile peace.
When the Emperor is suddenly murdered during the lavish Winter Solstice masquerade, the doors of the Glass Palace are sealed, trapping the realm's most powerful nobles with the assassin. Among them are Lady Elena Lorraine, a cunning daughter of the capital armed with dangerous secrets, and Lord Arik Valdor, a fierce northern warrior who despises the court's venomous politics.
As the great houses prepare to unsheathe their daggers in a ruthless battle for the empty throne, ancient protections on the empire's borders begin to crumble, awakening a forgotten darkness in the East. Forced into a deadly alliance, Elena and Arik must navigate a maze of betrayal, forbidden attraction, and political intrigue.
In a world where words are sharper than steel and magic is paid for with blood, survival is a luxury, and the crown will only be won by the most ruthless.
