⊛✪⊛ POWER. OBSESSION. WAR. DARKNESS. ⊛✪⊛ I was never crowned. Never chosen. Never meant to rule. But I will take the throne - piece by piece - until it's mine. The war for the throne has begun. Seraiah, the forsaken prince, the cursed son, the weapon forged by gods and grief, will stop at nothing to take back what is his. His father's reign is built on blood, and Seraiah intends to drown it in more. But as the battle for power rages, so does the darkness inside him. The curse that coils beneath his skin tightens its grip, feeding on the fury, the loss, the ruin. His kingdom demands a ruler. His enemies demand his fall. But all he can think about is her. She was his salvation. Now, she is his obsession. This parallel novel to The Dawn of the Lightning Goddess explores the same brutal world-but through the eyes of its most dangerous player. As war erupts and alliances fracture, Seraiah must choose between the power he was born to wield and the love that could ruin him.
