A court so cruel and beautiful
Secrets that can change the world
As Prisca fell asleep, she dreamed for years of a man with captivating green eyes and a cruel smile. And she does meet him, but under different circumstances than she would have liked.
Not long after humans are born, the gods take away what little power they came into the world with. In return, the gods protect them. When a person manages to retain his power, he is labeled "corrupt" and is burned. Even Prisca's forbidden power is revealed. To save herself from being burned, she must flee her small village and comfortable life.
To survive, she must make a deal with a mercenary - Prisca will help him and his mysterious friends infiltrate the city, and they will teach her to control her own secrets and the dark power she has always hidden. It is this power that may be the key to Prisca's survival.
But Prisca isn't the only one with a secret. The mercenary hides his own. Secrets that threaten the safety of everyone Prisca loves. Secrets that can disrupt not only a kingdom, but the whole world.
