She was meant to be executed. He should have died with the rest of his kind. In a realm starved of magic, Vellene Winloc was born to a brutal tyrant who beheads his enemies and hoards the source of all power. As his Heiress, she is expected to obey, stay silent, and bleed for her bloodline-or face execution. She escapes, but freedom is short-lived. A rebel finds her. Desperate, hunted, and bargaining for his own survival, Eledar Lirik binds her with a death oath. He is sworn to assassinate her family. Now she is bound to help him do it. But there is no survival in Alchemight. "Power ravages every great and glorious thing." "To fight is to live. To live is to fight." "Cruel, she makes herself." "Pain. Pain that isn't his." "But it's the kind of sad you yearn for. The kind of sad you never forget." "A broken weapon is still a weapon. It may only need to be wielded closer to the chest and with less forgiveness."
