In the Shadow of the Puppeteer

The gods allotted me only one year of a free life. But all good things, as it often happens, came to an end. Lucius Chiass, a cruel and calculating mage outside all categories—whom they’d believed dead for so long—has appeared again. And he won’t stop at anything to get me back.

The truth is, during that year I met a new love. Will I be able to keep my happiness if there’s a puppet master’s shadow behind my back? And most importantly: will they allow me to refuse the mysterious game in which the fate of an entire world is on the line?

I, Dominika Almirion, defy the gods!
