Blurb

The duology concludes in this epic installment!

After the fateful events of the Rynish marriage games, Phera, Dominic, and Rocelle's paths collide once again in the imperial capital. In this crucible of ruthless politics, modern technology, and millenia-old secrets, it will take every bit of strength and guile that they have to save the continent from brutal civil war. Burdened by wounds both mental and physical, and in the looming shadow of machine gods and tyrants, the odds are slim and the stakes beyond measure.

In the end, it may not be our heroes' defeat that the world should fear, but their victory. How far will they go for the sake of love?
