Description
A Court of Silver Flames meets The Traitors in this sizzling enemies-to-lovers fantasy set in the deadly court of Ancient Rome
After her father's untimely death, Kerasea becomes High Priestess of the Temple of Truth and the people of Pryor look to her for guidance. What they don't know is that she is hiding a secret which could bring the regime down.
Praetorian and revered soldier, Matelo, lost everything at the hands of Kerasea's father. Years later, he still seeks revenge.
When the beheaded body of a Senator is found with the ceremonial dagger of the temple beside him, Kerasea and Matelo's paths become inextricably linked.
And they set off on a path neither would expect
