Part of Lyonesse
First published 2025
Eight years ago, Mark Trevena's husband died, and Mark made vengeance the only thing left worth living for. To reach his enemy, Mortimer Cashel, he built his own empire of secrets and put blood on his own hands. He knew exactly what he was doing and who he was becoming. Then Tristan and Isolde arrived, and the plan stopped being simple. Mark hadn't expected to want them. He hadn't expected to watch them fall in love with each other and feel something crack open in his chest. He'd told himself his heart was long dead. He was wrong. Now Cashel is ready to end the game, and for the first time in eight years, Mark has people he cannot lose. He will burn everything to protect Tristan and Isolde. But fire only goes so far. What survives the burning is the truth, and the truth is this: their story was always his story. Every story needs a villain, and Mark is starting to understand which role he plays. The final book in Sierra Simone's Lyonesse trilogy delivers MMF romance inside a high-stakes revenge plot with no clean exits.
