Part of The Edge of Glass
First published 2026
Vasalie once served as a spy for King Illian before sacrificing herself to prevent a prophesied war. Anton, Illian's brother and the king she had grown to love, made a bargain with Moranya, goddess of the underworld, to resurrect her. The price was steep: Anton lost his compassion, his memories of Vasalie, and all recollection of the past six weeks. Without these memories, Anton believes his allies betrayed him and accepts Moranya's proposition to rule the realm of the dead. The kingdom he abandons teeters on the edge of civil war while Vasalie's ruthless father prepares to invade. Only Anton can unite the fractured land. Vasalie must descend into the underworld to retrieve him, but the Anton she encounters embodies the worst traits of the arrogant, dissolute ruler she once knew. To restore the man she loves, she must first return his memories, even if doing so breaks her own heart.
