In a realm forsaken by gods, where immortality is a curse and salvation a fleeting myth, Death’s newest Maiden becomes a pawn in a game of betrayal and blood.
Princess Deyanira, a trained killer bound by Death’s decree, lives only to execute his will. But when her kingdom’s fragile future rests on a political marriage, she’s deceived into wedding the wrong man—a perilous union that destroys any hope for peace. Stripped of control and plunged into her enemy’s macabre court, Deyanira discovers a chilling truth: the Life Maiden, the one person who could restore balance, is missing.
With chaos threatening to engulf her world, her hunt becomes a race against time. Will she reclaim her destiny, or will she lose everything—including her heart?
