About this listen
Do you believe I would offer my love once and then no more?
Ilianna Drakara almost had everything — the ardent Prince Castiel of Anolyn, and a country willing to accept her as their own — until both were ripped from her. In a labyrinthine castle as twisted as the very bloodline she hails from, Ilianna confronts the reappearance of her father and the truth of her lineage, all within a kingdom she despises. Her own.
Centuries of tyranny have left Eira tattered. Ilianna works tirelessly with her citizens to rebuild. Her companion is a notorious assassin masquerading as her lady’s maid. Meanwhile, Ilianna’s father, King Toma Drakara, disregards her, immersing into the troubles of a torn monarchy rather than confronting the true threat that looms.Two possessing spirits threaten Ilianna’s existence: Elyn, the Demon Daughter who roots restless in the depths of her soul, and her mother, the Wraith Queen who birthed her as the next vessel to conquer both Eira and Anolyn. Ilianna must harness her own strength that hides within or fall victim to a dark magic unaccustomed to failure.
