I was raised to hate and fear House Graves. Then their Keeper becomes the only man standing between me and a ritual that may take my life.
When the Drawing names me as Vaelmoor’s next champion, I have fifty-six days to prepare for a ritual that has claimed my bloodline again and again.
The man ordered to train me is Kellric Graves, heir to the family I was taught to hate and Keeper of the Reckoning that may demand my life.
I expect cruelty. Instead, he gives me a real room, puts a blade in my hand, and looks at me like I am something other than a sacrifice.
As forbidden attraction turns into something neither of us can deny, the order begins watching. A breach in the ancient wards hints that the stories surrounding the Reckoning are not the whole truth, while an old legend stirs beyond the tree line.
With the rite closing in and three centuries of blood between us, trusting my sworn enemy may be the only way either of us survives.
