Summary

Both Kasta and Zahru bear the circle of Numet that marks them as heirs to the throne, but Zahru will do whatever it takes to prevent the ruthless prince from ruling, even if she must become a villain herselfWhile crown prince Jet navigates the looming threat of war, Zahur is content to simply figure out what the future holds for them. Then prince Kasta returns with a shocking claim: he is the true winner of the Crossing and the rightful heir, and he bears the gods' mark as proof. Somehow, Zahur possesses the very same mark, giving her equal right to the throne. The last thing she wants is to rule beside her would-be executioner, but she can't let Orkena fall into his merciless hands. Now Zahru, Jet, and their allies must find a way to stop Kasta: once he's crowned, there's no telling what horrors he'll unleash to win the war. -- adapted from jacket
