Merelith Torhal is the guardian of her family and its kingdom, but it feels like a title and little else. Now eighteen years old, Merelith still hasn’t transformed into what she is supposed to be: an angyr, a powerful creature capable of bending time itself and killing immortals.
Born to sorceress queens and immortal kings, Torhal’s guardians were never destined to wear the crown on their sibling’s heads. Instead, Merelith is something not human, not civilized, and definitely not safe. All problems in the eyes of her little sister and crown princess.
Yet dangerous is precisely what Torhal needs as war threatens the tiny kingdom after centuries of peace. Merelith is all in on becoming an apex predator and protector, but will abandoning the woman she is also mean leaving behind her family, her lover, and everything she ever was?
