Born into a ruling family, Ivy Fellows is no stranger to power. In a nation devoid of magic and forced to worship the Golden Pantheon, Ivy has used her position to loudly oppose the gods, earning her enemies and a slanderous nickname. When the King dies without an heir, Ivy must take her ailing father’s place at the Ascension Vote to stop the most powerful man in Corinth from taking the throne.

Armed with weapons, wit, and secret earth magic in her veins, Ivy is ready to make the cross-country trek to the capital city, even if it means traveling with the battle-famed Captain Callan Murphy, a man with a reputation even larger than her own. But securing him as an ally, leads to more than Ivy bargained for.

A forbidden discovery of rebellion, bargains, prophecy, and destiny, culminates in an earth-shattering revelation that upends everything Ivy believes to be true. Faced with a new reality, Ivy must navigate her rapidly expanding magic and growing feelings for Callan to accomplish the impossible: kill a god and change the fate of her country, her world, and herself.
