"Plagued by chronic pain and fatigue Liyen is the scion of the Tianxian court a mortal
kingdom enclosed by the walls of the Immortal Realm. The people there are the bulwark against
mortal incursions into this sacred place and in return they are protected from the demonic
Asura. But when her father--the Lord of Tianxia--steals a magical flower from the immortal
queen they owe fealty to his punishment becomes Liyen's burden: the throne of Tianxia. Before
he died he asked Liyen to do one thing: free their people from the Queen of the Golden Desert.
Resolved to do exactly that--all while trying to maintain her tenuous control of her own
ministers--she is escorted to the Immortal Realm by the dark and dangerous God of War. She has
seen him in action before: he was the one who rained fire upon their home to reclaim what her
father had stolen and he was also the one who stood by as her father died. Liyen hates this
mysterious warrior...and hates that he has depths that are not reflected in the legends she's
heard about him. Both of them are hiding secrets. Both of them have duties that require them to
do whatever must be done no matter who might be hurt. But both of them are also alone. Both
are also in pain. And they are finding out the person who might be their greatest enemy is the
one who knows your heart the best"--
