Sresca has lived her whole life in service of Dana—the Goddess of Death and Lady of Sorrow. Yet that is not enough; she hopes to join the goddess herself in the underworld. There, she can unravel the mystery of the strange, winged creature that teaches her shadow magic—a creature that has memories of Sresca that can't possibly be true, leaving her wondering if she is wrong about her past. While Sresca prepares for her trials, a former duke notes her resemblance to the lost princess, thought to have perished in the revolution. With Sresca as his puppet-queen, he can conquer the fledgling democracy that stripped him of his lands and titles. But the full scope of his plan is darker still. Even with the powers of her goddess at her command, Sresca won’t be able to stop him. But her strange companion offers her a clue; one hidden in a past she doesn’t remember. Sresca must uncover the truth of her identity before opposing forces meet on the battlefield; it might just be the key to foiling the duke's dark designs. Otherwise, the republic—and her future—will be destroyed.
