The sleepy town of Lacuna hides secrets in overgrown forests and loose floorboards, and Emerence 'Em' has unwillingly stumbled onto a dangerous path of knowledge. In the house left by her passed grandmother, Em finds a book that details the history of her world before art was stolen from it a hundred years prior and how to break the curse that took it. Em's society sees creative expression as the reverence of dead gods; and the discovery of both this book and an abandoned statue in the forest is only the beginning of the unveiling of Lacuna's deadliest secrets. When Em's world is turned inside out, with both her heart and life on the line, she learns that even the forced silence of seven gods won't keep the truth from surfacing.

“It is not the intensity of the flame, but whom you burn it for, that matters…” Eira Isolde is one of the nine fae heiresses of The New Reign, burdened by a constant fear of their own inexplicable powers. But when she’s sent to live in a mortal kingdom because of it, it seems that The Fates have a different plan for her in mind—one that involves fellow heiress Meilin Azelie, a dagger-wielding pianist with whom she is suddenly, and indescribably, consumed by. When a nefarious king reveals the dark web of deceit he has Eira and Meilin ensnared in, the pair find themselves stripped of their powers, forced to become pawns in the Demir Trials; a twisted game pinning them against the rest of The New Reign. The price of victory is a heavy thing, and with nine heiresses fighting for survival, the path to conquest is one carved out in blood. In the midst of it all, with their thrones and lives on the line, Eira and Meilin know that one wrong move could see everything they know and love reduced to ash—including one another.
