Altair is haunted by a dark past and driven by a desperate need to protect his kingdom. His marriage to Olwyn is meant to keep her safe, to shield her from the power that others would kill to control. But when her dormant magic begins to awaken—powerful and volatile—Altair realises he may have taken on more than he bargained for.
Thrown into a world of political intrigue and danger, Olwyn must confront the truth about her heritage and the powerful magic that lies dormant within her. As she fights to control the power she never wanted, she finds herself caught between three powerful men: her enigmatic husband, Altair, her personal guard, Iolas, who would throw away his loyalty for her, and the terrifying king Casius.
But as tensions rise between the vampire and human realms, Olwyn’s power may be the key to either saving or destroying everything. With enemies closing in from all sides, and her heart torn between desire and duty, Olwyn must decide who she can trust—before her choices ignite a war that could consume the entire kingdom.
Will Olwyn become the queen she was meant to be, or a pawn in a game of monsters?
