The war is over, but for Thysandra, the trouble is only just beginning.

Betrayed into treason by her longtime nemesis and irresistible obsession, Anaxia—a charming demon lacking empathy—Thysandra unwittingly causes the downfall of the fae empire she's served for centuries. Instead of execution, she's named High Lady of the very court she helped topple. Punishment or reward, she isn't quite sure.

Now, with fae clamoring for violent revenge, humans demanding rights and reparations, and a sentient mountain causing chaos, Thysandra must restore order at the Crimson Court. To make matters worse, Anaxia reappears, leaving a trail of bodies and claiming Thysandra is madly in love with her.

Agreeing to work together is the only way to restrain this dangerous menace. But as tensions escalate and someone undermines her at every turn, trust becomes a deadly game. Can Thysandra decide how much faith to place in the demon she can't help but desire, or will it be the death of them both?
