Life in the perilous Thorn district is a constant battle for Arvelle and her younger brothers.
Faced with an unthinkable choice , Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to do the kill the emperor , an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros .
But first, she must enter the Sundering — an arena where only the fastest, strongest, and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor’s elite guard .
As stakes rise and secrets emerge , she quickly draws the ire of the Primus , the powerful figure charged with protecting the emperor — while also finding herself depending on the enemy to hone her power... the emperor’s vampiric son .
To survive the arena and complete her mission, Arvelle must uncover a deadly conspiracy that will change everything she thought she knew about herself — and the two vampires who are deeply entwined with her destiny.
