Secrets built this republic; one truth could burn it down.
High Priestess Kerasea Vestal has spent her life hiding the truth that she s the last surviving heir of the magical bloodline the republic slaughtered. One wrong step could be fatal. But when a senator is brutally killed and a temple blade is found at the scene, all eyes turn to her.
Praetorian Torren Morvane has made a career of dragging liars into the light, and Kerasea is the one person he s vowed to ruin. But locked on a mountain with a murderer, scheming senators, and a prophecy of death, he s forced to work at her side. The closer he gets, the more dangerous the truth and their attraction becomes.
With traitors closing in and a nation on the verge of shattering, Kerasea and Torren must risk everything to uncover the real killer. . .even if it means trusting their sworn enemy.
