\"SUMPTUOUS WORLD BUILDING, WITTY CHARACTERS, SPICY ROMANCE...AMALIE HOWARD AT HER FINEST.\" –DANIELLE L. JENSEN, New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood

A bladesmith blessed by the stars. A prince with a dangerous secret. A god bound in shadows. From USA Today bestselling author Amalie Howard comes a scorching new high-stakes epic fantasy romance that will leave you spellbound.

“His Imperial Majesty King Zarek requests your presence as his esteemed guest.”

When the gold-dusted court invitation arrives at Suraya Saab’s forge, she believes it’s a joke. Nobles might seek her skills as a bladesmith, but she has no qualifications as a potential bride for the crown prince. Still, the invitation is the chance at adventure, and the means to finally visit the capital city her late mother loved.

But what awaits her in Kaldari is nothing she could have imagined—and fraught with danger. It’s not the crown prince, but his impossibly handsome, illegitimate half-brother, Roshan, who captures her interest…and her ire in an enemies-to-lovers dynamic she can’t ignore. The invitation isn’t a quest to find a suitable bride, but a veiled hunt for the Starkeeper—a legendary chosen one rumored to hold the magic of the stars in her blood. And across the city, political intrigue and unrest are brewing between the noble houses and the rebel militia.

When the rebels attack, Suraya and Roshan find themselves on the run. Thrown together by danger and forced into proximity, they try to deny their simmering attraction and the knowledge that Suraya herself might be the Starkeeper. But Roshan is guarding secrets of his own. And with no control over the power stirring within her, Suraya has drawn the attention of a dark god, an immortal whose interest might be the biggest threat of all.
