Nyx Wrenvale has only had trust ever in just her blades. Haunted by betrayal as fueled by vengeance also hardened by loss, she now exists in the shadows once a loyal warrior of the fallen Crimson Court. A dangerous mission does not warrant questions from Nyx. The mission is in some town which is now teetering on the brink of some chaos. Until the only one who might break through her walls turns out to be the tactician she’s meant to protect besides the last person she expected. General Mei Lian has spent her life in hiding of her bloodline as she survived all of the empire’s lies. She is done with running, branded as a traitor and hunted for the dragonfire that runs through her veins. The war is evolving. She is too. Mei must choose from the court that cast her out and the warrior who’s become her fiercest ally. That action might halt an old vampire queen's increase under ice. Nyx and Mei, thrown into masquerades, magic, and monsters, must fight as secrets untangle, sparks ignite, and desire burns, heart to heart, side by side within their armor. However love is a weapon and mutual trust may be the deadliest risk within a world of blood and betrayal. High-stakes romantasy. Slow burn sapphic heat. Blade-slicked tension. Love forged in fire. Fans will enjoy warrior women, morally gray lesbians, plus kissing under the blood moon.
