I should have known better than to believe in forever.
Ace was my danger, my addiction, my everything—and I would have died for him.
Turns out, I did.
But even as I took my last breath in his arms, I wasn't afraid. I only feared he'd never be able to live without me. Because no matter how dark he is, I've seen the pieces of him no one else ever will. And I only pray that somehow, some way… he finds his way back to the light—even if I'm not there to guide him.
Ace
She died in my arms. My queen. My fire. My reason.
And the world expected me to just go on breathing?
No. Now, I burn.
For revenge. For answers. For every drop of blood she shed because someone thought they could steal her from me.
They thought they ended our story that night.
But they didn't know:
You don't kill the queen and leave the king alive.
Now I rule a kingdom of ash and fury—with our son in my arms and war in my heart.
