Secrets built this republic. One truth could burn it down.

High Priestess Kerasea Vestal is hiding a deadly secret: she’s the last heir of a bloodline the republic tried to erase. If anyone discovers the truth, she won’t just lose her power.

She’ll lose her life.

And the man most determined to expose her is already far too close.

Praetorian Torren Morvane has made a career of dragging liars into the light, and Kerasea is the one person he’s sworn to destroy. When a murder points straight to her, he finally gets his chance.

Until they’re trapped together with nowhere to run—and no one else to trust.

Forced to rely on each other to survive, both are faced with an impossible choice: destroy the other...or protect them.

Because the closer they get, the harder it is to remember why they were supposed to be enemies.

And losing each other?

Might be worse than anything the truth could cost them.
