'A dark epic fantasy series, where one woman's thirst for revenge will put the entire world in jeopardy. 

'The only thing twenty-one year old Adrastine wants is revenge against her depraved father—but when she tries to kill him, she is caught and thrown into a holy war for a god she doesn’t believe in. But disaster is coming, and all Adrastine’s problems will seem minor by comparison. Someone, or something, is draining the planet’s lifeblood, killing the land and everything on it at an alarming rate. 

'Jacob is a shelon, a man who can wield magic, and a spy dispatched by Queen Valtice to find The Rose of Nerine – the only one who can stop the rape of the land and save the people. But when Jacob finds Adrastine, he can’t convince her that she is The Rose, let alone to leave her home and journey with him across the tempestuous sea to Nerine. 

'Adrastine is drawn to Jacob, despite their differences. But that is a dangerous path, as he is an unwelcome distraction to her quest for revenge. And if she learns his secrets, it will cement her hatred of men forever, weakening powers she is only just learning she has, powers needed to save their world.'

'Her plans in tatters, Adrastine must honour her promise to Jacob, Now they must cross the tempestuous ocean to Nerine, where more will be asked of Adrastine than ever before, and betrayal lurks on the horizon. With plans and intrigues set into motion well before she arrived, Adrastine must learn to survive amongst sometimes hostile allies.

'Will Adrastine accept Ephrestine as her goddess and her role in the prophecy, or is the land, and everyone on it, fated to die?'
