In this dark and lush romantic fantasy, two women raised as pawns in a corrupt world must join forces with unlikely allies to harness their fury and break the cycle of violence – the first in the debut adult series from New York Times bestselling author Roseanne A. Brown.

This first edition hardcover features designed sprayed edges and full-color illustrated endpapers – while supplies last!

Every generation has a Godsgift: a young woman possessing the blood of the goddess of spring. Raised as a ward of the Church and betrothed to their immortal prophet, she is destined to fend off a devastating eternal winter.

But when this generation’s chosen one, the naïve Eulia, realizes she’s been groomed as a sacrificial lamb, she flees with the help of a mysterious warlock.

Left behind is Cleio, Eulia’s passionate and furious handmaiden, who, with the support of a stoic soldier, must take Eulia’s place as a false Godsgift and root out corruption from within.

Society would wrest their agency away, but these two women with a sisterhood forged in fire will not sit idly by as their fates are decided for them. Power is their destiny. Freedom is their right. And by divine rage, they will claim what is theirs.
