Summary
Kalypso has one secret that could end her: the chaos magic she's spent her life hiding, and the forbidden blood bond that's the only thing keeping it leashed.
When her mother dies and the crown falls to her, Kalypso has no time to mourn with only seven nights to survive the Septinox and prove she's fit to rule. Her first trial is Hellas: a realm of vampires, blood-rites, and a labyrinth built to break her. Surrounded by six brothers she doesn't fully trust, watched by a court hungry for any sign of weakness, and bound to a vampire who's protected her since she was a child, Kalypso has to win a trial she was never trained for — without anyone discovering what she really is.
Some thrones are won. Hers might cost her everything.

Summary
My mother spent twenty three years teaching me to bury what I am. She died before she could teach me how to survive being found.
Now I'm Queen Maiden of the Nexus, heir to bloodlines I never asked for, guarded by six brothers I barely know, bound to a vampire whose blood has run in my veins since I was seven years old. To take the crown, I have to survive the Septinox: seven nights, seven realms, seven trials built to kill anything unworthy.
And I am unworthy by definition. Chaos-touched. Forbidden. If anyone learns what whispers under my skin, no trial will matter. They'll execute me where I stand.
Hellas was the first night. I walked off that floor alive.
Barely.
Now the second realm is waiting, stone and salt and wings, gargoyles taller than any man, and a High Queen who's watched forty generations of rulers rise and fall. Something in this realm looks at me like it's already decided what I am.
Something in my own family does too.
Six trials left. A bond I didn't choose. A brother I can't escape.
I walk toward it anyway. It's the only direction left.
