Ravenna Grail has worked her entire brutal life to become heir to Silver Coven. She fought for the title. She killed for the title. She deserves it more than anyone. So imagine her absolute fury when her father, the master of Silver Coven, chooses none other than her nemesis, Torin Bloodworth, as his heir. The decision is a slap in the face, a betrayal she’ll never return from—until Torin drops dead.

 

In the blink of an eye, Ravenna has become the number one suspect. To make matters even worse, her father has declared that whoever discovers Torin’s killer will take his place as heir. Lines are drawn, alliances begin to form, and Ravenna must delicately balance keeping her secrets, trusting others, and convincing others to trust her. Because as the past slowly unfolds, Ravenna’s relationship with Torin proves to be much more complex than everyone believes.

 

Yet diviners are a ruthless people, and while the investigation develops, a larger conspiracy comes to light—one that could spark a civil war among the Chicago covens. With every new discovery and fresh suspect, Ravenna must ultimately decide if becoming heir is worth burning the city to the ground.

 

And to someone as merciless as her, the decision is a surprisingly difficult one.
