She was born a daughter. Chosen as heir. Then marked for death.
In the kingdom of Anima, sacrifice keeps the gods appeased-and no one is exempt. When the Queen offers up her own daughter as the next blood price, everything unravels. Kae'Dinah escapes with the help of a stranger cloaked in prophecy: Prince Amias of Ellarum, who claims Highest sent him in a dream to find her. But the path to freedom is not safe. As fire rises in her and visions haunt her sleep, Kae'Dinah realizes she is no longer just a girl running from fate. She is becoming something more. Something powerful.
With enemies closing in and secrets surfacing like smoke, she must face a truth long buried: she is the Judge foretold in sacred flame. And before she can save anyone, she must decide who she's willing to lose.
