Saeris Fane didn’t ask to become anything legendary: not a Fae-vampire hybrid, not a god-marked Alchemist, and certainly not the reluctant queen of Sanasroth’s Blood Court. But after killing Malcolm and surviving the Midnight Kiss, she must hold a hostile vampire aristocracy together long enough to stop a spreading rot that turns corpses—and then the living—into something worse.
As Kingfisher, her dangerous mate with shadow magic and a god sword, fights to protect her across realms, Saeris discovers her powers don’t simply grow—they demand payment. Quicksilver bargains in memories. New runes burn into her skin. And the politics of courts give way to a harsher truth: Belikon’s oaths still bind the warriors of Yvelia, and Madra’s city may be a spell in the shape of a wheel.
When a blood-soaked revolution inside Ammontraíeth collapses the Blood Court, Saeris must choose between saving the broken people left behind, saving the realm, and saving the one person she refuses to sacrifice—while the darkest gate in Yvelia opens again.
