About this audiobook

Telium is playing a deadly game, risking everything she knows and holds dear. The cities, the temples, even the Goddess's hang in the balance. She is running out of hands to play, Alkoria the losing bet. She has fought rebellions, killed kings and broken queens, but nothing will prepare her for her final battle. With her newfound family by her side, and the threat to her people, Telium suddenly has everything to lose. And as the game becomes far more perilous, inconceivable players come forth from the shadows. Telium must push herself to her limit and dig deep into a past with secrets that may destroy her. With a command branded on her soul, she will bargain with the Underrealm, usurp the balance, and become more vicious than ever to save her people. But she cannot predict the power play that will shake the very foundations of Alkoria. In a desperate fight to save her people, Telium will risk it all. She is sure to discover that the only thing guaranteed in war ... is death.
