Calista Peralta only wants what the Gods willed: her throne returned from her usurper siblings. Presumed dead, the exiled regent has spent years biding her time, using her Gods-given gift – the ability to kill without touch – as an assassin for hire, waiting to return home. An opportunity comes in the form of Cato Janus, a general and politician who offers his full military support... so long as she pretends to be his fiancée to bolster his campaign for Grand Chancellor.

Lost in the web of a world with political influencers and die-hard fanbases, Calista is jarred by the celebrity culture of Cato’s world. Soon, she becomes ensnared by her newfound fame, remembering what power tastes like. She gets caught between Cato’s witty and passionate right hand, Altan, and Cato himself, whose status and prowess promise her more power than she’s ever had. Maybe more power than the Gods themselves. Calista must decide how far she will go to help him and enact her revenge, because Cato’s ambition might cost her everything.The image is deep purple and red, a blurry depiction of the Roman Forum at night.
