Rose Kultavaris thought power would protect her. Instead, it may destroy her. As war closes in and dangerous truths unravel everything she knows about her heritage, Rose must master her magic and face what fate has made her.

Rose Kultavaris has always believed that power was the answer. Power to protect. Power to avenge. Power to choose her own fate.

But she was wrong.

Power is not a blessing. It is a curse.

Now she stands in a hidden city of ice and knowledge, where nothing is as savage as she was taught to believe, and everything she thought she knew about loyalty, heritage, and destiny begins to unravel.

As enemies circle closer and prophecies rise, Rose must train harder than ever to master the magic once ripped from her, even if Kyor despises the man tasked with teaching her.

Tension coils between them as Kyor remains bound by a vow that is strangling them both, torn between crown and conscience, duty and the woman he would burn the world to protect.

When war breaches even the safest borders and blood stains sacred ground, Rose is forced to confront a truth that could unmake her entirely.

Because destiny has not just chosen her. It made her.

And it can unmake her just as easily.

Blood of Truth and Traitors is the third instalment in this dark, spicy, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy series, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, The Serpent and the Wings of Night, and Throne of Glass.

  • Jealousy & Possessive Tension
