Zereth has returned, and peace is over.
Prince Trillion has spent his life defying the fate chosen for him. The kingdom expects him to accept the bond that ties him to Ember, the god-marked boy he’s meant to love—his cousin.
But Trillion has never wanted a destiny he didn’t choose.
Now war is rising, and a weapon is turning bonds into something deadly.
They’re told to stay apart. To resist.
But the closer danger draws, the harder that becomes. Because in a war built to break bonds, loving each other might destroy them—or save them.
