Mira dreams of a glittering future in the Ravalian Court. Training in secret, she intends to compete in the Trials: a deadly competition to join one of three magical Orders. But when her candidacy exposes her mother's dangerous past, they become her only salvation. Princess Scarlett has spent her life on a knife edge: fighting to survive the deadly politics of court. When she meets Mira, she sees an opportunity to alter the balance of power . . . but only if she can keep her alive.

Eve Farrell is an artist who paints portraits of missing women. Her collection transforms the insensible into something beautiful. In them, her lover, Detective Chris Daniels, sees hope. Eve’s most admiring fan sees compelling symbols of death in art. A collector of sorts himself, he also happens to be a serial killer. When he kidnaps Eve from a gallery opening, his plan is set in motion. Imprisoned in his basement lair, Eve is to paint portraits of his victims—before and after death—to create a macabre exhibit of his own.

On the brink of war, Mira and Scarlett find themselves entangled in a deadly world of gods, magic and duplicity, with the stage set for the ultimate showdown. Backed by her lover Aric and sorceress mother Zandri, Scarlett has Mira right where she wants her. But winning the Ravalian Empire requires spilling a river of blood, and as past secrets and new threats emerge, Scarlett must decide: is claiming the crown worth becoming as poisonous as the death magic she wields?
