In a kingdom built on bloodshed and betrayal, Princess Amaya has always been a quiet witness to the brutality of her father’s reign—until she’s taken by a group of ghost-like rebels in the night. But her captors are not the monsters she expected. Among them is Renn, a fierce and unreadable leader whose hatred for the crown runs as deep as his loyalty to his people. As Amaya is pulled deeper into their world, she begins to question everything she’s ever known—about loyalty, about war, and about herself. With the haunted soldier Alias at her side and dangerous truths surfacing all around her, Amaya must decide where she stands: with the family who raised her, or the strangers who just might be fighting for what’s right. Tensions rise, hearts are tested, and survival means more than just staying alive—it means choosing a side in a war that’s been quietly burning for too long.
