The gods are coming. Everything Valeria believes has been a lie: the source of her power, her heritage, and even the secrets she keeps guarded in her heart. After beheading Empyrean’s king to take up her birthright as the Queen of Empyrean and having her godly gifts unlocked through a needless sacrifice, she has spent the last year restoring her realm. And she has done it all while coming to terms with her newfound identity as a demigoddess, proving that she is someone her people can trust, and surviving the tragic loss of her childhood best friend. But with a dangerous cult of loyalists terrorizing Empyrean, a mysterious invitation from the Realm of the Divine, and undeniable sizzling tension between her and the two men vying for her heart, the peace Valeria’s worked tirelessly to broker may never come to fruition. To save Empyrean—and herself—Valeria must navigate realm politics, distrusting gods, and her own selfish desires in the spellbinding, seductive sequel to A Realm of Ash and Shadow.
