    Summary

    She was the symbol of an empire. Now she's the target of its vengeance.

    Penellaphe never asked to represent the sins of Carsodonia, but for the people of a kingdom risen from grief and fury, blood must answer for blood---and she's the chosen sacrifice. Ripped from her bed and thrown into a cell, Poppy is subjected to a punishment meant to shatter her spirit and silence her soul.

    When Prince Casteel returns to find the woman he vowed to protect brutalized in his absence, fury erupts---and with it, the fragile balance between vengeance and justice begins to crack.

    As Poppy heals, torn between the memories of the man she once knew and the truth of who he has become, she must decide if her heart can survive both the scars of betrayal and the cost of forgiveness.
