Notes

When old secrets catch fire, everything will burn. In a mortal world colonised by the gods and ruled over by their cruel, magical offspring called the Descended, healer Diem Bellator yearns to escape her poor village. Her mother's sudden disappearance -- and the discovery of a dangerous secret about her past -- offer Diem an unexpected opportunity to enter the dark world of Descended royalty and unlock a web of mysteries left behind by her mother. With the dying King's handsome yet enigmatic heir watching her every move and a ruthless rebel alliance recruiting her to join the growing civil war, Diem must navigate the unwritten rules of love, power, and politics in order to save her family -- and all of mortalkind.

No. 1 in the Kindred's curse saga.
