Princess Kira has spent her life bowing to gods and king alike. Her father expects obedience. The gods send monsters to remind mortals they must kneel. Kira was born to wear a crown and follow orders, not to rule or fight. Everything changes when she enters the throne room on the wrong day. A monster hunter arrives from across the sea. A prince destroys her future. Now Kira has sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood. She travels dangerous territory with a warrior who hates her. He despises her as much as she despises him. They march toward a marriage she never wanted and a destiny she never chose. Everyone demands she become what they need. A queen. A spy. A sacrifice. But Kira discovers something unexpected. Power lives in being underestimated. For the first time, she might reach for that power and make her own rules.
