Born to be wicked. Forced to behave.
Violet can't afford to screw this up. After two years of training as a member of the Zenith's Call, she is finally given a chance to work a real mission—retrieving a powerful divine relic called the Moonscape Staff before it can fall into the wrong hands.
Navigating dangerous city streets and vast deserts will be challenging enough, but Violet's golden opportunity to prove herself also comes with one big condition: she has to work alongside the man she hates the most. All Violet's hopes now hang on cooperating with Axien, a handsome, enigmatic half-elf who seems to delight in taunting her.
Violet hasn't forgotten the brutal betrayal of her last friendship, and she's determined not to fall for the same trick twice. But when mercenaries and monsters target their mission, Violet realizes rescuing the Moonscape Staff will mean being dragged back down to the darkest depths of her past … with only Axien to watch her back.
Cornered in a Viperi city, surrounded by mutant monsters, and entangled in a game of vicious conspiracy, Violet knows trusting Axien might be her only chance to salvage the mission and see daylight again. Will she risk faith in the fumbling young sorcerer? Or will trust for trust finally end in blood for blood?
