What if immortal power, magic itself, was within your grasp?

And all it cost to wield is your soul.

Adrian didn’t intend to compete in the Trials. She did not intend to lose her best friend as a sacrifice to wicked gods. And she certainly did not intend to find herself partnered up for the gods’ ancient gauntlet with Dante, son and heir to the House of Viper.

Born into power and raised for greatness, Dante stands for everything Adrian has come to despise. But he may be her only hope of survival.

The only problem? He won’t let her in.

Despite his reservations, the unlikely pair successfully struggle through Trial after Trial, advancing further than any champion in a millennia. Then, just as Dante’s walls begin to break down, they are both given a reminder of why he built them up in the first place.

Navigating religious zealots, a patriarch intent on breeding the pair for power, and a confusing relationship with her own partner, it seems that, for Adrian, betrayal has always been waiting just around the corner.
