The lives of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth are ruled by their fates, spoken by the oracles at their births. The fates, once determined, are inescapable.

Akos is in love with Cyra, in spite of his fate: He will die in service to Cyra’s family. And when Cyra’s father, Lazmet Noavek—a soulless tyrant, thought to be dead—reclaims the Shotet throne, Akos believes his end is closer than ever.

As Lazmet ignites a barbaric war, Cyra and Akos are desperate to stop him at any cost. For Cyra, that could mean taking the life of the man who may—or may not—be her father.

For Akos, it could mean giving his own. In a stunning twist, the two will discover how fate defines their lives in ways most unexpected.


打從賽拉．諾瓦克和阿科斯．卡瑞瑟斯出生的時候，神諭就指示過他們一生是命中注定的，一旦決定就無法改變。

儘管阿科斯命中注定要為諾瓦克家族犧牲性命，他還是愛上了賽拉。賽拉的父親拉茲莫．諾瓦克是一位沒有人性的暴君，大家本來以為他死了。而拉茲莫重新奪回休特王位時，阿科斯認為自己離死亡已經不遠了。

賽拉和阿科斯竭盡所能阻止拉茲莫點燃一場無情的戰火。對於賽拉而言，這代表她要奪取這個男人的性命，而他卻是自己的父親。

對阿科斯來說，他可能得賠上自己的性命。在這場令人震驚的風暴中，他們將發現，命運會以最意想不到的方式來定義他們彼此的人生。
