Jade survived the Commander’s murderous plot once, but she won’t be so lucky again as he tries his hand at a new game. She will give her life to save Sophie and protect her father even as her new husband, Roan, and friend, Lucas, try to save her once they find out she is saying goodbye. Jade doesn’t want to leave them, but she’s willing to do whatever it takes to ensure their futures.

Roan doesn’t want to believe his father would try to take his bride away again, but when Jade starts publicly saying things to anger the people of their country, he realizes the man whose role he is stepping into is positioning Jade to be the most hated woman in the Command. He fights for Jade as she tries to let him go, but even if he can stop his father from continuing down his deadly path, it might not be enough to prevent the country from killing the woman he loves in time.

One will be lost. One will be found. In the midst of heartbreak, only one will survive.
