Daindreth has learned to live with the voice in his head after inheriting the curse which drove his dad mad, however a sorceress’ assassination attempt changes it all. She fails, yet temporarily frees him from the demon plaguing him for more than half his life.

Daindreth, to his surprise, discovers that she’s Amira Brindou, half-sister to his betrothed and the daughter of a sworn enemy. Guilty of high treason, she should be sent off to the gallows, however Amira’s his only hope and Daindreth’s willing to pay any price for a shot at a cure.

Against the advice of his advisors and friends, he becomes determined to do what he must in order to win her over into his service, assuming she doesn’t murder him first. Then again, losing his life seems to be a small price to pay for the shot to save his own soul.

Magic has two immutable rules: every curse can be broken and every spell requires a sacrifice.

Amira Brindou is a sorceress turned assassin, bound in this curse which forces her to obey her dad, even to the point of high treason. When he orders that she murder the future emperor, she fails, however she also discovers this secret which could bring the entire empire right to its knees.

The archduke’s been stricken by this curse which could sentence him and his people to damnation, however Amira could very well be the only key to breaking it. In a desperate last ditch effort, the archduke takes Amira prisoner and makes this pact with her to keep her safe from her curse if she’d free him of his own.

While time starts running out, Amira quickly learns that there are some enemies blades just cannot touch and there are some fates worse than death. Caught in this web of intrigue, sorcery, and her own growing feelings for the archduke, this assassin has to decide truly how much she’s willing to give up in order to save the only man that she has ever loved.

Every curse can be broken, however can two cursed people save one another?

Amira Brindou has just done the impossible: she broke her own curse and rescued the imperial archduke from Empress Vesha’s witchcraft. Saving the man that she loves really should’ve been a good thing, however by doing so, she’s upset the delicate pact between the cythraul demons of the Dead Marches and the Erymayan Empire, with some far-reaching repercussions that she and Daindreth can just start comprehending.

Now Daindreth and Amira are outlaws on the run. Their list of allies grows slim and their chances of outrunning Vesha’s agents are even slimmer. They soon will have zero choice but to get help from the banished Istovari sorceresses, those that first cursed Daindreth’s dad.

Amira’s willing to do whatever she has to in order to free Daindreth from his curse, even bargain with the women that once offered her up as a human sacrifice, however it quickly becomes clear she’ll not be the only one facing this cost.

At the same time, Thadred finds he’s miraculously alive. Not just that but bonded to this creature of myth. While discovering new powers as a sorcerer, he starts wondering if there’s possibly more to his heritage than he was told and more to his own potential than he had ever dreamed.

They are a step ahead of the empress’s plans, however the imperial agents are closing in. they’re all running short of time before Daindreth gets captured by the empress’ men and the Istovari get completely wiped out.
