Sargis would burn the world to protect her—but Narine must find the strength to heal, embrace her destiny, and decide whether she is ready to become his Queen.
A rare sight indeed. I let myself sink into the bed, finally giving in to the exhaustion that had been threatening to drag me under. My eyelids grew heavier with each blink, and the steady whir of the mop was comforting in the background. NARINE’S POV Two more months have slipped by since that fateful…

But I didn’t look out the window. I didn’t care for the scenery. All I could think of was her. Of how desperately I wished I could take her place. How much I wished the universe had chosen me to carry that pain, instead of her. How much I hated myself for being too late.…
