In the thrilling second novel of the magical Gods Beyond the Skies series, a young woman must navigate treacherous wartime alliances as she secretly reunites with her childhood crush, all while harnessing her power over death in a daring bid to save her realm.
Ruying has learned a bitter truth: that the enemy prince who had promised a better future for both of their worlds has betrayed her. The Romans will not leave Pangu’s shores until they have depleted her realm as thoroughly as they have destroyed their own. Now only one question remains: Will Pangu’s unmaking be a quick and brutal war, or a prolonged draining of resources?
With the arrival of the third Roman prince, Cassius, the answer may come sooner than anyone expected. Tasked with a decision that will either end in fire and bloodshed and the destruction of everything Ruying has ever known or an eternity of subjugation, he alone holds the fate of Pangu in his hands.
But Ruying sees a third option. She and her childhood crush Baihu have now united in secret against the Romans. Both are highly placed inside the Roman hierarchy, and trusted by their respective princes. So who better to curtail Rome’s power by assassinating all three of the Roman princes at Cassius’ welcoming party? With the magic of Death at her fingertips, she will save her world or die trying.
But there are forces at play that Ruying knows nothing about—forces that will test her courage and resolve in ways she never thought possible, and make her understand exactly where her heart truly lies.
