Hyacinth never asked for this power, never wanted to bear the weight of a war that could consume them all. But fate is merciless, and with each passing day, the blood in her veins binds her tighter to a destiny she cannot escape. As armies gather and ancient powers stir, she is forced to make an impossible choice-cling to the love and the life she's always wanted or become the weapon the realms need.
Ataliia is slipping further into darkness. Haunted by the war inside her mind and the monsters that walk free, she is losing herself piece by piece. Grief, rage, and the ghosts of her past claw at her throat, pushing her toward choices that cannot be undone. She tells herself she is still fighting for something-someone-but with every drop of blood she spills, she wonders if she is becoming exactly what she once feared.
Betrayal runs deep. Allies are not what they seem. As kingdoms fall and secrets find the light, Hyacinth and Ataliia must decide how far they are willing to go to protect the ones they love. But in a war where there is no room for mercy, where death is inevitable and sacrifice is the price of survival, one question remains:
Where is the line between hero and villain?
