Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort. However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania - she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission - one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then...end him.

The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill. The truth about Sera’s plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos.

She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.

Lui non aveva ragione di sospettare che io fossi qualcosa di diverso da quello che sembravo. Non poteva sapere che, nei due secoli che aveva dovuto attendere per la mia nascita, avevamo scoperto come uccidere un Primordiale. L’amore. Quello era il loro punto debole. Fallo innamorare. Diventa la sua debolezza. E poi annientalo. E questo era il mio destino."
