Summary
In the aftermath of Emperor Commodus' fall in the arena by the hands of Maximus Decimus Meridius, the state of Rome is left as fragile as a broken whisper.
Aurelia, Commodus' only living child through his late wife Bruttia Crispina, falls into a state of danger. To secure the safety of her niece, Lucilla orchestrates for Aurelia to be safeguarded by the Temple of Vesta, under the esteemed and powerful Vestal Virgins; watchers of the eternal flame.
Fourteen years have passed since the death of Commodus. Rome is now governed by the children of Severus Septimus, a pair of mad men driven by blood and their own desires.
Emperor Geta has turned his eye to the Temple of Vesta. The people call his power into question; to have a daughter of Commodus as a bride would be a show of power.
In an effort to protect her niece once more, Lucilla orchestrates a union of her own. Upon his return from a conquering campaign, Lucilla convinces General Marcus Acacius to request Aurelia as his bride.
Torn from her temple and faith, Aurelia is forced to play the game of emperors and pawns once again.
As a granddaughter of Marcus Aurelius, she is the rising sun over Rome.

Summary
Everyone’s been wondering what Violet Sorrengail was up to in the twelve hours before the end of Onyx Storm. Everyone already knows what Ridoc Gamlyn was doing.
But what about Sloane?
Well. Between carrying the weight of killing General Sorrengail, fearing her own signet more than the venin, and trying to remember what it feels like to hold onto something without losing it, she’s barely keeping herself together.
Not to mention:
✔ Her dragon is acting buddy-buddy with the worst-breathed dragon in the Empyrean.
✔ Secrets are coming out left, right, and centre—and not a single one of them is good.
✔ She only has a week left to win her bet with Aaric: that Ridoc will, somehow, manage to pull Violet's big brother.
✔ And worst of all? She can't decide if she wants Dain Aetos dead, humbled, or pressed up against a wall.Series
