Being raised by the viper who slaughtered my family, along with being beaten and berated by him for merely existing, takes a toll on my heart and soul. Uncle bears the crown, has changed the name of our kingdom Soare to Krigare, and desires more destruction throughout the Fae lands. While plotting his quest to rule all, I'm bartered to forge a union with Cysgod, a formidable ally and one who could ensure Uncle's victory. King Caelum of Cysgod has a reputation that precedes him, defining him as a tyrant as well. He killed his father for the crown and is known to be just a ruthless and bloodthirsty as Uncle.
Just when I thought the Gods had forsaken me, as they did the Enkeli and Conroicht, my life turns upside down. While I fear my new king, he and his people see me as their queen. Though he does not punish me, I expect it nonetheless and flinch at his touch.

My emotions tell me one thing while my mind desperately questions everything I have ever known. What role do I play in Uncle's dealings? Am I a viper in disguise, sent destroy the Conroicht from the inside?

Threats and deals are made. Foes become allies. Allies become foes. Keeping track of the lies from the truth is harder than one can imagine. The lines between who you can trust and who you can't begin to blur.
