“This is the way the world is. Powerful men get what they want.”
“Mayhap it’s time someone changed the world.”
From the drought-dry ground of her father’s farm to the fancy houses and glittering ballrooms of the nobles, Mellie learns one thing is the same: those with power take what they want, and those without are left to put the pieces back together.
When a young man with power doesn’t get what he wants — Mellie — he sends her world spiraling into tragedy. Because of his family’s power, Mellie knows he won’t be held accountable. With Ankou’s death magic living inside her, she decides to seek retribution herself.
Revenge is sweet — and what’s sweet is addictive.
