She was supposed to be a weapon. She became something worse: a problem.
Kaelen has survived the Undercroft by hiding what she is—a Null, a human who can unravel fae magic with her bare hands. When a monster attack forces her to reveal that power in front of the entire Twilight Court, her secret dies in spectacular fashion.
Now she belongs to Lady Sylara. Cold. Untouchable. The most feared ruler in the realm—and she's looking at Kaelen like she's either a solution or a threat.
Sylara needs Kaelen to fight the Blight, a corruption eating the land and turning creatures into nightmares. In exchange: freedom. Simple transaction.
Except Kaelen keeps noticing cracks in the ice. Keeps catching Sylara's hands trembling when she thinks no one's watching. Keeps wanting to know what's underneath all that cold.
There's a coup coming. An ancient darkness rising. And the only person Kaelen trusts is the woman who put a collar around her throat.
She should run.
She's going to stay.
