From C. J. Redwine, the author the New York Times bestselling Ravenspire series, comes the stunning conclusion to the fantasy duology that began with Rise of the Vicious Princess. Perfect for fans of These Violent Delights, And I Darken, and Ash Princess!
Charis Willowthorn is a queen without a throne. A Rakuuna invader holds Charis's kingdom of Calera captive, leaving her desperate—and ruthlessly committed to vengeance. But with her allies reluctant to intervene and her enemies hunting her across the open sea, Charis is left with only one choice: forge a temporary alliance with Tal Penbyrn, the boy who betrayed her—and, at all costs, keep him out of her heart.
Tal is imprisoned, both by the Rakuuna and the weight of his guilt. Though he once betrayed his love, he knows that he can help turn the tide in Charis’s favor, if only he can regain her trust. But the Rakuuna have an ally of their own—one who knows Charis’s every move and will stop at nothing to see her destroyed.
With threats closing in and every allegiance in doubt, Charis must be stronger, faster, and more vicious than her enemies to reclaim her kingdom—and her future.
She’ll burn the world down to get her throne back. But what happens when the one person she needs to trust is the man who broke her heart?
- Forced Alliance: She needs an army. He needs her trust. To save Calera, Charis must work with Tal Penbyrn, the betrayer she swore she’d never forgive.
- Enemies to Lovers Romance: He’s the son of her enemy, sent to spy on her. But as they fight for a common cause, the line between hatred and the history that binds them begins to blur.

- High-Stakes Action and Adventure: From treacherous open seas to enemy territory, this epic fantasy finale is packed with gripping battles, shocking betrayals, and a fight for the future of a kingdom.
