The gods commanded me to kill the child who might destroy them… and in obeying, I lost the woman I loved.

For years, I was their weapon—the Earth Gods’ assassin, bound by compulsion. When they called, I answered. I had no choice. But then they whispered a new command: kill the boy born of Death and Life. The child whose very existence terrified them. In giving that order, they didn’t just sentence the boy—they condemned me. Because the moment Daphne learned the truth—who I really was, what I had been sent to do—I lost her. Her trust. Her love. And the only chance I had to break the curse that bound me. The gods were pulling harder every day, and my will was splintering. If I gave in, I’d become a monster. And if I didn’t… I wouldn’t survive the breaking.

He lied to protect me. They lied to hide me. But I was no longer anyone’s pawn.

I gave my heart to a man born to destroy—and to a family too afraid to claim me. Winston Claymore—the knight who once held my heart—was the Black Wolf. The Earth Gods’ deadliest blade. And he never told me. But that betrayal was only the beginning. What I discovered afterward shook the foundations of everything I thought I knew—about my past, my blood, and my dormant powers. They tried to break me. But I was no longer the naive girl who trusted too easily. They feared the Black Wolf… But they should have feared me more. I would fight for him with everything I had. But even love has limits. And I couldn’t promise to save him—only to stand between him and the darkness when it came.

Eternal winter would end in an epic battle. But not without devastating loss. The gods wrote their prophecy. But I would rewrite the ending.
