Deception's Rose

She wears a thousand faces, but only one can destroy the shadows of the kingdom.

The Goddess of Light has fallen, summoning an era of darkness. Born of dark magic, Shadows reign beside the corrupt rulers of this age, suffocating what dying virtue remains. In the wake of darkness, the gods bestowed their chosen people magical gifts.

As a server to the gods, Rhoswen Fallen must plunge into the darkness to dismantle the kingdom from the inside out. The God of Deception chose her when her father aimed to take her life, and the god has not left her mind since. She is a shapeshifter, a deceiver, and a liar to the crown. Seducing lords, collecting secrets, she leaves ruin in her wake.

Rhoswen's new orders were simple: tear down the estate and the lord who rules. But the most powerful estate in the realm hides more than influence. It is bound by dark magic, guarded by secrets, and bent on unraveling her mission. For within an era drenched in shadows, nothing remains simple for long.

Haunted by her past, harrowed by her god, Rhoswen must fall into the shadows, become one with the dark she is sworn to destroy, to bring forth a new age of light.

Step into dark waters, drown in the shadows, but remember: in the realm of Andrael, even the gods bleed.
