The Most Vile Vices

Calla Toleymi has achieved the impossible. Despite all the challenges, she triumphed in the brutal games of San-Era and eliminated King Casa, her tyrannical uncle and former ruler of Talin. Now she serves as a royal advisor to Casa's adoptive son, Augustus, who has ascended to the throne.
Only Calla knows that this is not actually Augustus.
Anton Makusa is still furious over Calla's betrayal in the last round of the games. He did the impossible to survive and has no intention of relinquishing his newfound power. But when his first love, the beautiful and unpredictable Otta Avia, awakens from a long coma and reveals a secret threatening the monarchy's power over Talin, chaos ensues.
The situation escalates, so Calla and Anton must join forces and venture to the far reaches of the kingdom to prevent anarchy... even if their empires would be better off falling.
