About the Book:

In a world fractured by belief, the gods lay claim to the Ever – ancient magic that sustains the Known World. But the Ever is failing, and the gods have turned their wrath on the Ever Blessed, those gifted with access to its power.

Captain Elva, warrior princess of Vettona, is her realm's last hope for peace. Promised in marriage to the handsome yet infuriating Fynton, she must navigate a fragile alliance and her growing feelings for the one man she cannot trust.

Meanwhile, Innes, a witch desperate to conceal her bond with the Ever, embarks on a perilous quest to cure a blight upon the land. But her path collides with a deadly Vettonian warrior, forcing her to choose between a dangerous love and the salvation of her people.

As ancient powers awaken and allegiances crumble, Elva and Innes must decide where their loyalties lie – love or fidelity, freedom or fate – as the wrong choice means losing everything to the vengeance of the gods.
