While the Iskat Empire has long dominated the system through treaties and political alliances, several planets, including Thea, have begun to chafe under Iskat's rule. When tragedy befalls Imperial Prince Taam, his Thean widower, Jainan, is rushed into an arranged marriage with Taam's cousin, the disreputable Kiem, in a bid to keep the rising hostilities between the two worlds under control. But when it comes to light that Prince Taam's death may not have been an accident, and that Jainan himself may be a suspect, the unlikely pair must overcome their misgivings and learn to trust one another as they navigate the perils of the Iskat court, try to solve a murder, and prevent an interplanetary war... all while dealing with their growing feelings for each other.

Five thousand years of war and rebirth have all come down to this. Bex and her army have made it to the precipice of Gilgamesh's Heaven. They've occupied the white mansions, taken the golden streets, freed the house slaves of Heaven's warlocks. The final fortress of the enemy stands right in front of them, but the demons' fight is far from over. Though she defeated the Queen of War and freed her people from the Hells, Bex's sword is still silent, her horns are still missing, and her army is little more than a mob of terrified former slaves who can barely stand. What the demons need most are rest and recuperation, but time is not on their side. For all the battles they've won, Gilgamesh hasn't stopped racing toward the culmination of his grand—yet still unknown—ambition, and he's not about to let Bex's ragtag rebellion get in his way. To save her people and reclaim their ancient home, the Queen of Wrath is going to have to take the fight to the enemy. It's finally time to end the war the Eternal King started five thousand years ago. It's time to Tear Down Heaven.

The Queen of Wrath may go down, but she’s never out. At least, that’s how it’s been for the last five thousand years. With the loss of her horns, hand, sword, name, and witch, Bex is closer to defeat than she’s ever been before, but the Blade of Ishtar has never been a quitter. She’s determined to come back from her ashes, which means it’s time to do something crazy, something she’s never attempted in any of her previous lives. She’s going to hell. Literally. If the only way to get back what she lost is for Bex and crew to personally storm the Eternal King's prison, that’s what they’re going to do, because while the Hells were designed to contain demons, they’re completely unprepared for the fire of revolution Bex is bringing with her, especially since the demons aren’t fighting alone. Adrian is also deep in Heaven’s backstage, and like any good witch, he hasn’t been an idle prisoner. It’s time to show Gilgamesh that winning the battle isn’t the same as winning the war, and that hell hath no fury like a queen--or a witch--scorned.
