The games are over. Let chaos reign.

Calla Tuoleimi has done the impossible. Against all odds, she won San-Er's bloody games and eliminated King Kasa, her tyrant uncle and the former ruler of Talin. She now serves as royal advisor to August Shenzhi, who has risen to the throne.

Only Calla knows it isn't really August.

Anton Makusa is still furious about Calla's betrayal in the final round of the games. In an impossible feat, he took over August's body to survive, and has no intention of giving up this newfound power. But when his first love awakens from a years-long coma and reveals a secret that threatens the monarchy, chaos erupts.

As tensions come to a boiling point, Calla and Anton will have to journey to the kingdom's furthest reaches to prevent anarchy - before their real identities are exposed . . .

Romance, politics and power meld in this pulse-pounding, electric enemies-to-lovers epic fantasy romance, inspired by Antony and Cleopatra.
