“If my existence led — however unknowingly — to yours, then I would make the same choice again and again. Every. Single. Time. Even if all I gained was one moment with you, fleeting in a dark corner. I would never change it for the world.”

Peace was an illusion Carserae had clung to while a war was brewing. As ancient magic stirs and long-buried truths rise to the surface, the fragile balance between the Blessed and the Damned begins to unravel. Bloodlines once thought extinguished prove dangerously alive, and the sins of history threaten to repeat themselves across centuries.

Bound by love, sacrifice, and a destiny written in blood, Sashki is pulled into a final reckoning that will decide whether magic is erased forever… or reborn in darkness. But the battle is not only against the Damned. It is against her own heart. Torn between the king she swore herself to and the man to whom her soul is undeniably tethered, Sashki must decide which future she is willing to lose. And perhaps the cost of ending the Damned is greater than Sashki is willing to pay.

In this breathtaking conclusion to the Sword of Hadrian series, fate comes full circle as past, present, and future quite literally collide… proving that dynasties are not ended by war alone, but by the choices made in love.

Fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and Outlander will fall headfirst into Dynasty of the Damned — where time travel, forbidden magic, soul-bound lovers, and a dangerous love triangle collide across centuries to decide the fate of the kingdom of Carserae.
