He was sent to kill her. He spared her life. Now, he's back to finish what he started. Sera has spent years running, but no one escapes prophecy. The celestial gods known as the Shine want her dead. The Shadow King of the Fallen hungers for her power. And Keres, the Angel of Death-her destined executioner-is the only one standing in their way. Forged to kill and commanded to obey, Keres was the Shine's most loyal weapon... until Sera, the girl he couldn't bring himself to destroy. Their fates are tangled in a prophecy that could shatter the world. As betrayal and war close in, Sera must embrace the power she fears, and Keres must decide if he is willing to defy the gods for the one girl he was never meant to save. Because in a world where love and death are two edges of the same blade, choosing each other may be the deadliest fate of all. FOR FANS OF CARISSA BROADBENT, JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT, AND SARAH J. MAAS COMES A GRIPPING FANTASY ROMANCE FULL OF RAZOR-SHARP BANTER, SLOW-BURN TENSION, AND BETRAYAL THAT CUTS DEEP.
