In this second volume of the Koziniac Dynasty, the cost of ambition deepens. Nulynia, driven by grief and vengeance, seeks refuge in a foreign land to forge alliances that could reshape her fate. Meanwhile, Tonare and Esevia cling to diminishing influence, as old betrayals fester and new betrayals emerge. With war on the horizon, every desire exacts a price-one that may not be what anyone expects. In this tale of power traded and consequences reaped, authority is not merely sought, it must be earned.
