She gave him ten years. He gave her nothing.
For a decade, Alicia Valerius has been War God Valentine Augustus's secret — his sharpest blade on the battlefield, his hidden lover by night. When he publicly announces his engagement to Selina Winter of the Northern Pantheon and commands Alicia to kneel and swear loyalty to his new bride, the woman who once took a spear through her chest for him finally breaks.
On the day of his royal wedding, Alicia descends from the sky in a crimson Flame Tribe bridal gown, riding beside Damian Abyss — the Fire King who has loved her in silence for years. She shatters the badge of the God of War at Valentine's feet, and walks into her enemy's arms.
But Valentine will not let go. He marches an army south to drag her back. At the border, with two armies watching, Alicia raises her blade — and severs the blood pact that bound her soul to his.
His obsession. Her revenge. One war to end them all.
