Arden Roosa has only ever known Ourland, a fractured world where broken pieces of the past collide with statues of dead gods and artifacts both revered and feared. But nothing is more terrifying than nightfall, when madness turns innocents into killers.
Her life changes when she discovers The Book of Arden, a text that tells her story before she has lived it. Forced into Fort Bala Royal Academy, Arden is paired with High Prince Cyrus Dolion, a ruthless warrior who pushes her to her limits in training and tempts her with a dangerous attraction.
As she joins the secretive Tome Society, guardians of an invisible library of prophecy, Arden begins to question everything she knows about Ourland, the gods, and her own destiny.
