The second installment in the Crowns of Nyaxia series and conclusion of the Nightborn Duet. In the aftermath of the Kejari, Oraya is a prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving lost family, uncertain of her own origins, and unable to trust anyone—especially Raihn. The House of Night faces threats from rival nobles reluctant to accept its new king and from the encroaching House of Blood. When Raihn proposes a secret alliance, Oraya must weigh the chance to reclaim her kingdom and pursue vengeance against harnessing an ancient power tied to her father's secrets, while confronting difficult choices about power and love.
