If you want to kill me, little bird, you are going to need significantly better form. My name is Lyra, and I am just a dirt-scratcher from the slums. But when the Emperor's royal guards dragged my little sister away to feed his dark blood-magic rituals, I signed my name in blood. I entered the Atonement Trials. The rules are simple: survive the Shifting Labyrinth, win the golden sun-stone, and gain access to the capital city so I can tear its walls down.
It was supposed to be a suicide mission. Then, I met Ronan.
He is the Supreme General of the Vanguard. A Dragon Shifter. The Shadow of Death. When I use ancient, forbidden earth magic to break the Emperor's deadly arena, Ronan steps in. He does not execute me. Instead, he locks a cursed Blood-Iron collar around my neck and claims me as his personal slave in front of the entire empire.
I swore I would kill him. I sharpened a silver knife on a stone hearth to cut his throat. I poisoned his wine with deadly nightshade. But the Supreme General is hiding massive, dangerous secrets behind his heavy black armor. The iron collar around my throat is not a chain of slavery-it is a bridge, secretly funneling his own life force to heal my fatal wounds. And the Sylveri youth he supposedly executes for the Emperor? He is running an underground railroad to smuggle them to safety.
Now, the Emperor's telepathic spies have discovered his treason. An army is marching on the Black Keep to slaughter us both. I do not have my ancient earth magic anymore, but I have my rage, and I have the most powerful Dragon Shifter in the world standing by my side. It is time to stop running. It is time to draw our swords and burn this empire to the ground.
Step into a dark, fantastical world featuring:
