A deadly trial. A forbidden magic. A warrior who could ruin her—or save her. In the Lumerian Empire, possessing the wrong magic doesn't just mean exile. It means death. Lady Lyriana Batavia has spent years in the shadow of a cruel regime, hiding her sisters' forbidden powers and praying her own magic revealing ceremony passes without blood. But when the unthinkable happens as her power is revealed, she is condemned to exile... unless she agrees to a contract that should be a death sentence. Seven months. Zero magic. A brutal trial of strength to earn her freedom. To survive, Lyr must train under Lord Rhyan Hart, a feared and exiled warrior that she has secretly loved for years. He's forbidden to her in every way, but as rebellions threaten to tear Bamaria apart, and betrayals hide around every corner, Rhyan becomes her most important and dangerous ally. With her family's secrets unraveling, their rule threatened, and an occupying army on the verge of conquering her people, Lyr must master the blade before time runs out. But guarding her sisters, her life, and her country, might mean sacrificing the one thing she can't afford to lose… her heart. Cleopatra meets Throne of Glass in this epic romantic fantasy featuring forbidden love, deadly trials, political intrigue, and an unforgettable slow-burn romance. This special edition from The Ink Pages features a redesigned foiled cover, sprayed edges, illustrated endpapers with different front and back designs, full-color interior art, page overlays (spice page overlay included only in books ordered by May 12th, 2025), the author's digital signature, and two exclusive bonus chapters.
