Kraidin became a threat to the emperor. Every warrior will go after Kraidin, and every nakhkas praises Kraidin’s victories. The hero can’t be killed—because a fallen hero will become an immortal symbol. But his reputation can be destroyed—forcing him to marry the woman he won’t be forgiven.
Marissa, a hereditary witch, lives with one thought: to someday take revenge on the monster beneath whose feet her native land burned. To become his wife is just another perversion of fate—or a chance? Maybe the enemies of Kraidin placed their bet for this on purpose when they arranged this ridiculous marriage. After all, the witch has long had nothing to lose.
