Fated to destroy each other. Cursed to need each other. Renza Di Maineri has done the unthinkable: now the fate of her city rests solely in her hands. But with democracy suspended, unrest growing, and enemies gathering at the border, the weight of an entire nation threatens to crush her. Worse still, Idris Patricelli – the man she loves – has abandoned her. As the first blows of war begin to fall, Renza and Idris are forced back into each other’s orbit. Bound by desire, duty and a destiny they cannot escape, will they defy fate and stand together, or will this final battle be their undoing?
