Book #3

Book #1 The Exiles Curse, Book #2 The Traitors Game. In the wake of treachery and broken bonds, Chloe de Roche has fled Illvya and
a marriage that was never supposed to be real, to hunt the rebel mages trying to topple the empire. Bringing them to justice is the only way
to clear her name and salvage something of the life she's been fighting for. But leaving Lucien behind might be even harder than finding
the truth about the treachery buried in the heart of the empire. Faced with Chloe's desertion, magic that undermines his ability to know the
truth, and a threat to the emperor he is sworn to serve, Lucien de Roche is reeling. But even though his hopes that Chloe might grow to
love him have been shattered, he can't turn his back on his wife. Bound by vows and honor, he has no choice but to follow her, even if she
might break his heart. Defeating those who seek to tear their world apart will not only take all their powers but an admission that they are
stronger together than apart. But are they willing to risk their lives—and their hearts—to save an empire?
