After a lifetime spent doubting herself and bending to the whims of others, Bellatrix Aelys found the courage to seize her power and own her choices. She broke ties with her toxic family and released Vil, Romik, and Daen from the magic that bound them together, leaving the men free to choose their own path… even if it didn’t include her.
The problem is, her ageons didn’t necessarily want to be released from the bond. As the four of them struggle to balance their new relationship dynamics, their mysterious enemies continue to move against them.
A convenient errand for a friend sends them southward, but a storm and a dragon conspire to shipwreck them off the coast of Zandrine, Queen of the Arena Cities—the place where Romik rose to fame as the Demon of the Arena. A city to which Romik swore he’d never return.
Can Aelys and her three protectors navigate their tangled emotions, buried wounds, and Zandrine’s political undercurrents enough to survive this new and dangerous environment?  Or will the blood on the sand end up being theirs?
