Power feels incredible. Until it starts to take hold.

Arleia has only just stepped into godhood when she discovers a new source of magic that changes everything. It makes her stronger. Faster. More powerful than she ever thought possible. But power like this comes with a hunger all its own — and the more she uses it, the harder it becomes to stop.

As monsters begin to spread and the world around her starts to fracture, Arleia is pulled deeper into a dangerous struggle for survival, control, and the future of the realm she’s been left to protect. Allies are uncertain. The cost of magic keeps rising. And the deeper she goes, the more she has to wonder whether the magic she’s using to save her realm is also the thing hurting her.

In a world where gods are not as distant as they seem, and power always comes with a price, Arleia must decide how much of herself she’s willing to lose before there’s nothing left to save.
