SummaryShe's known nothing but pain—but love waits in the
arms of one man.
Maleta is a true survivor. Attacked and left for dead at a
young age, she has traded her heart and emotions to become
the ultimate weapon of vengeance for the Grey Goddess,
Hedda. She swears to depose Queen Sunniva and restore her
ancestral home to her brother, no matter the cost.
Cianan is drawn to the mysterious land of Shamar on the
power of a vision—the death of a beautiful swordswoman
to an army of skeletons. When he meets Maleta, he recognizes
two things. She is his true Life-Mate. And she is the woman
fated to die this horrible death.
He vows to change her fate.
Cianan must unite the diverse people of a fragmented land to
overthrow a vicious despot and convince their true queen to
take the throne. Falling in love with a mortal woman who's
buried her heart and shies from his every touch—that's
the real challenge.
Maleta knows she can trust Cianan to save her country. Can
she trust him to help her save herself?
