DATE OF RELEASE: 13 AUG 2026
In the heart-thumping, epic conclusion to the duology that began with A Dance of Lies, Vasalie must journey to the realms of the dead to restore the memories of her beloved prince and stop a mounting war. Once a spy for the ruthless King Illian, Vasalie sacrificed herself to kill him and prevent a prophesied war. But Illian’s brother, Anton – the king she allied with and had only just begun to love – struck a deal with the goddess of the underworld, to bring Vasalie back.
The cost: his compassion, his memories of her, and all the events of the past six weeks. Now stripped of the truth, Anton believes his friends betrayed him and accepts an offer from the goddess to rule the kingdom of the dead. But with the realm he leaves behind on the brink of civil war, and her cruel father threatening to invade, Vasalie realizes only Anton can reunite a fractured realm.
To save her world and the man she was coming to love, Vasalie journeys to the underworld and reclaim him… though the Anton she finds is arrogant, debauched, hopeless. To restore him, she’ll have to restore his memories – even if it means sacrificing her own heart.
