They told her she was sick. They lied.
For fifteen years, Akari Shino has served the Imperial Princess while being slowly poisoned by the very physician sworn to heal her. The Empire claims the medication controls a genetic condition, but the truth is far more dangerous: Akari is the last descendant of a dead queen, and her veins hold the power to unmake the world.
When a boy from her childhood rescues her from the palace, the withdrawal from the suppressant triggers a catastrophic release of power that levels a city district and exposes the Empire's darkest secret.
A poisoned handmaiden discovers she is the last descendant of a dead goddess — and the Empire will burn to keep her silent.
In the frozen north, the survival of the resistance hinges on Akari's divine power to coax life from exhausted soil through a harsh mountain winter.
