Description
Diana speaks. Gods answer.
Aedlynn strikes. Enemies fall.
In the realm where gods dance with mortals, Diana's prayers wield unimaginable power. But when a deadly sickness threatens to consume her, she strikes a desperate bargain with an unlikely ally, invoking a journey of vengeance and deceit.
Aedlynn is a lethal weapon forged in darkness. She feels no pity, no guilt . . . no love. So when a beautiful spy finds a hidden way into Aedlynn's heart, even the gods won't stand in her way.
As Fate weaves its intricate tapestry, betrayal and revelation collide, plunging them all into a maelstrom of passion and peril, and a battle for power will threaten to consume them all.
Because there's a fine line between love and hate . . .
And a woman's heart is a dangerous thing.

Diana and Aedlynn’s journey is a breathtaking blend of divine intrigue, fierce vengeance, and unexpected love. The way their lives intertwine amidst a world of gods and mortals is nothing short of magical. The tension, the passion, and the raw emotion in every twist and turn left me completely captivated. This book isn’t just a story, it’s an exhilarating ride through a fantastical realm where love and power collide in the most thrilling ways. Absolutely unmissable. I can’t wait to read more!

"I was not cruel by nature. But I was fucking vengeful and my wrath knew no limit."
Okay. Okay. Okay. I NEED MORE. I read the original 2022 version of this story, and I love to read the 2024 version and try and discover what changed. The pacing is better, and I am beyond excited and hyped to discover how certain events in book two will go down.
Also I feel like Aiden got even more lines in this version and he is my absolutely favourite character ever.
Now for what makes this story tick. Its been a whole while since I read romantasy, mostly going for small town romance lately. But the fact that I finished this book in just a few days (thank you vacation job for letting me read at my desk) says so much about the quality of this story. It reads so easy, but in the meantime you do get a complete and complex image of the world ACOC takes place in. I love Diana and feel for her journey and self discovery. I am so excited to see what else will happen with her.
(Thanks to Netgalley and Golancz for providing me with an ARC!)
