Some hearts are made for war. Others are made to break.

Aria, the bloodthirsty Queen of the Abissian syrens, tasted revenge in the Zojz trench, but it cost her everything. Her people are dying, her plans unraveling, and the Fire Monger King still reigns unchallenged. Haunted by failure and bound by a vow to the God of War, Aria sets her sights on the empire's heart: the palace that once imprisoned her, and the tyrant who destroyed her family.

Meanwhile, Viggo, the disgraced Skierkan prince, fractures beneath the weight of rebellion. Allies falter, his magic surges beyond control, and his only salvation lies with those he's betrayed. To win this war, this traitorous prince must face the army he once led-and the devastating truth he's buried.

Mayta, the cunning court spy, sister to a queen, uncovers a conspiracy in a palace of monsters, threatening the world's oldest magic. Now, she must embark on a perilous quest in search of a prophecy foretold by the ancient sistros, with an unexpected ally whose past holds vital secrets.

And Raask-the lost prince, the dead boy walking-emerges from exile with a secret sharp enough to cleave empires. The world thinks him a ghost. But ghosts, after all, were born to haunt.

As sea wraiths rise and Gods stir from slumber, these four will forge the fate of a world.
