Fall of Ruin and Wrath

In a world once devastated by gods, only nine cities remain, each ruled by a guardian—royalty who sustain themselves on mortal pleasure. Calista, gifted with an unfailing intuition, lives concealed as a courtesan under the Baron of Archwood, trading information for his protection. When her intuition compels her to rescue an imperiled traveling prince, she is warned that he may bring both joy and ruin. As the Baron and the prince each take an interest in her, Calista becomes the prince's companion while her city teeters on the edge of rebellion, with threats gathering beyond its gates. She must weigh the safety her intuition offers against the pull of her own heart.
