A night of celebration shatters into chaos.
Pierce was never meant to be a killer. But with his sister’s life held hostage, he is forced to loose an arrow at the heart of the crown. When he fails and is seized, he is cast into a ruthless game of power where truth is fragile—and the gallows await.
Within the palace walls, Princess Kero stands on the edge of her own reckoning. What begins as a test of poise in the royal court soon unravels into something far more dangerous. As whispers of rebellion spread and blood stains the marble halls, she is drawn into a rising storm that threatens the throne itself. In a single, fateful moment, she must decide: place her trust in a condemned traitor… or let a kingdom burn to preserve its crown.
Beyond the masks of nobility, a hidden force gathers strength. Loyalties will shatter. Betrayal will carve its mark. And before the night is through, the fate of the realm will be set in motion.
Steel will sing. Blood will fall. And destiny will not be denied.
In the second installment of Tales of Tarza, the first strike has been loosed—and war is coming.
Perfect for fans of Game of Thrones and Throne of Glass.
