Now she has a sexy but cynical knight claiming to be her protector, a prince trying to seduce her to his cause (and his bed), and a snarky chaos god who offers a play-by-play commentary on it all, whether she wants to hear it or not. To make matters worse, there are plenty of people who would like to see her dead. Follow Arden, Dev, and Kell as they battle necromancers, a jealous god, and foreign invaders, all while balancing the chaos thrown their way by Loku.
