They pray to her for vengeance, but she longs for peace… Tempest abandoned the land of the gods long ago, unwilling to continue to mediate their problems and tolerate their lies. She may be the judge for the souls of the living, but she can’t take on the weight of the responsibility anymore. When Tempest finds an emperor broken and dying, Fate ties them together, and she can’t escape. Disguised as a mortal, she must compete to become the next empress while protecting a man she refuses to let into her heart. But to do that means revealing herself to the very gods she’s been hiding from, and they will not let her escape again. The goddess of the broken may be broken herself, but what could she be if she wasn’t?
