Telium is playing a deadly game, risking everything she knows and holds dear. The cities, the temples, even the Goddess's hang in the balance. She is running out of hands to play, Alkoria the losing bet. She has fought rebellions, killed kings and broken queens, but nothing will prepare her for her final battle. With her newfound family by her side, and the threat to her people, Telium suddenly has everything to lose. And as the game becomes far more perilous, inconceivable players come forth from the shadows.

At 57, Ruth made a successful sea change: she relocated from the city to the country and opened Rosie's Cafe in the seaside town of Cutlers Bay. Business boomed, but five years on the shine has worn off. Where has that other Ruth gone, the independent, feisty woman who'd had the courage to sell up in the city and move to the country? Even the bathroom mirror is reflecting back someone she doesn't quite recognise: greying hair, wrinkles, the sparkle all but gone from her blue eyes. Ruth is convinced she has to make a change—if only she could decide what.

Telium's greatest mistake has cost her more than she can bear. With the revered King of Thresiel dead, the fragile balance between kingdoms is crumbling, and she may be too broken to stop it. Now, the mission she lost everything to prevent is resurging. Her traitorous lover is gone, and someone far more menacing has stepped in to take his place. Forced before an unforgiving queen to pay for her crimes, Telium is ordered to stop the rising rebellion. With her soul bonded to another, Telium faces a world of corruption, fickle gods and well-buried secrets.
