To save the man she loves, she must become the monster she fears.
The Jade Empire is burning. Shadow demons flood through breaches in the celestial veil, the Dragon Council has branded Mei and Corvus as traitors, and the bond between them is evolving into something terrifying and unstoppable. When they touch, reality fractures. When they fight, the world bleeds.
Desperate for answers, they seek the mythical Qilin-the rarest of all celestial beasts, creature of judgment and mercy. But the Qilin's oracle delivers a devastating prophecy: one of them will die before the war ends, and the other will become the darkness that destroys the realm.
Mei will do anything to change their fate, even if it means unlocking the forbidden magic buried in her bloodline-power that could corrupt her soul beyond redemption. Corvus has already made his choice: he'll embrace the shadows completely if it means keeping her safe, even if she ends up hating him for it.
As old enemies become unlikely allies and friends reveal themselves as traitors, Mei and Corvus race against time to prevent the prophecy. But the Qilin's judgment is absolute, and some destinies cannot be rewritten.
They were meant to destroy each other. Now they'd burn the world to stay together.
