Calista, Goddess of Life and Suffering, has waited centuries for the mate fate promised her.
Malak has spent his life hating the gods of Valynth.
When they meet in a Gilyx prison cell, neither understands the full weight of what fate has done.
Calista hears the bitterness in his voice when he speaks of the gods. Malak does not realize that the woman he is falling for is one of the very beings he despises.
So she keeps her identity to herself.
Because once the truth is spoken, it cannot be taken back.
When fate pulls them together, love begins to take root where it should not. But hatred does not loosen its grip simply because love exists.
When the truth is revealed, Malak is forced to choose: Calista, or the vengeance that has shaped his entire life.
But Calista uncovers a truth of her own.
One that means fate did not bind her to her enemy by accident.
And when the whole truth comes to light, it will not simply break hearts.
It will unravel everything.
