Five years ago, Silas La'Rune lost everything: his mother, his home and his love, Lena Daelyra. Grief turned into rage, and rage to purpose. Now known as the Slayer of Witches, Silas wages a brutal campaign against Magekind. But during a raid on a Mage village, he finds Lena alive, hiding a secret darker than betrayal: she is a Mage herself. Torn between fury and forbidden desire, Silas can't help but show mercy when faced with the eyes of his lost love.
Amid a Kingdom on the brink of war, with no one else to turn to, the pair form a fragile alliance to to topple the tyrant King of Otacia - Silas' own father, Ulric La-Rune. Yet another shadow looms, a rising necromancer is beginning to terrorise the land they once called home.
Forced to hide their past, every stolen glance reignites a fire they cannot tame. As rebellion ignites and old loyalties fray, Silas can't decide what will destroy him first: her lies or his sins...
