The Old Gods are Dead.

Myths and legends of the Sun and the Moon have circulated for millennia throughout Albionne. They were the stories Renata Orion was raised on. But the day Fynn Tirich fell from the sky, chosen as the host for the Sun God-and the new Phoenix-those stories became more than just legends.

Selected with her friends to train for the Ira Deorum-an ancient, elite force-Renata, along with her sister and friends, must face the king's trials and question where their loyalties truly lie.

As they continue their journey together, secrets are uncovered, lies are told, and betrayal lurks around the corner. Renata must make a decision on who to trust and what to believe.

Are the legends truly just stories told at bedtime, or is Renata doomed to repeat the fate of the past?
