When Chandra ran away from the King, she didn't plan on looking back. Meeting a handsome stranger was one thing, staying with him was another. The crossing of their paths led to the unravelling of a tragedy from years ago. And the very person Chandra ought to protect was now in danger. In the frigid battle between freedom and sacrifice, the flame flickered. She had to lose herself to keep it burning. It's a choice she's willing to make.

Peace was our favourite illusion... Jacinthe Trevion's only goal in life is to prove that she is not a criminal like her father, while Mazarine Stallard's is to become the perfect daughter following the footsteps of her father, the Commanding Inquisitor of Telluria. For five centuries thrived the city of Telluria, the last pocket of modern civilization to survive underground after the Fall of Mankind. When a series of strange events distrupt the city's routine, it falls on Jace and Mazarine's shoulders to uncover the conspiracy that spans centuries in the making. They are two daughters, fighting for different reasons but wanting the same goals, and eventually realising that they have more in common than they care to admit. And when death threatens to take one of them, they learn to fight back. Already miles beneath the ground, Jace and Mazarine must find a way to keep themselves from being buried alive.
