Adelaide - heiress to the wealthiest man in the Ceithren Empire - has felt a void since her sister's death. Just as she's resigned herself to the empty life her father chose for her, a relic from a world that shouldn't exist plunges her into chaos. Clark - son of the greatest terrorist the empire has ever known - is still reeling from his father's death. Since then, his life has boiled down to two things: his brothers and his next mission. When his mission to bring back a mystical artifact goes awry, he's forced to choose between getting the job done and saving the life of a socialite.

Clark thought he knew what grief was. Addie thought she understood the dangers of the Tempest Sea. They couldn't have been more wrong. When their only chance at survival lands them on opposite ends of an island that shouldn't exist, they will both be forced to contend with the consequences of their latest mistakes—and each other's. Will they be able to keep the promises they made one another, even as loss and circumstance morphs them into the very people they never thought they would be? Or will their relationship be the next casualty in this never-ending battle?

She sacrificed her heart in exchange for the fragile peace of her kingdom, but in the wake of their beloved king’s assassination, peace is hard to come by. Threats and conspiracies emerge with every turn, and all the while her wedding looms closer. Between funerals and hangings, coronations and balls, Charlie must find the strength to prove to her people - and to herself - that she can be the queen they need, even though it requires breaking her heart in two.

They say ignorance is bliss. Charlie used to believe that was a lie, but now she’s not so sure. As the truth comes to light, everything Charlie thought she knew, everything she thought she wanted is called into question. Though she manages a daring escape from her captors, the black mark of the Aramach is spreading like wildfire, threatening the fragile peace between Luan and H’Ria. Through it all, Charlie tries to overcome the scars she’s brought back with her to be the leader her people need.
