Secrets built this republic. One truth could burn it down.
High Priestess Kerasea Vestal is hiding a deadly secret: she’s the last heir of a bloodline the republic tried to erase. If anyone discovers the truth, she won’t just lose her power.
She’ll lose her life.
And the man most determined to expose her is already far too close.
Praetorian Torren Morvane has made a career of dragging liars into the light, and Kerasea is the one person he’s sworn to destroy. When a murder points straight to her, he finally gets his chance.
Until they’re trapped together with nowhere to run―and no one else to trust.
Forced to rely on each other to survive, both are faced with an impossible choice: destroy the other...or protect them.
Because the closer they get, the harder it is to remember why they were supposed to be enemies.
And losing each other?
Might be worse than anything the truth could cost them.

Loved the story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It started out feeling like an And Then There Were None murder mystery set in an alternate Roman world of magic and priestesses. It started out with forecasting through animal sacrifice and spoke of powerful illusion magic. It started by teasing Praetorian investigator Torren’s grudge against High Priestess Karasea’s Order.
Then, it devolved into blah, blah politics of the elite, with zero change of scenery because they’re locked in together for the entirety of the book. The MCs don’t use skill or find clues as much as they wander from body to body, letting the politicians tell them what to make of planted evidence, until in the last two hours when magic reveals whodunnit.
Then, without much in the way of justice or plot progression, it left me hanging for a second book promising more doldrums and disappointment. I didn’t really feel the chemistry for the slow burn to two sex scenes. The MCs have yet to talk through their shared past or get to know each other. This was a very okay story that I’m not sure I care enough about to move on.
Underwhelming for mystery, romance, or fantasy
