A Traitor's Daughter, the Demons' Slayer... the City's Only Hope.

For Solana, survival has always meant staying sharp—and staying alone. With a blood-forged dagger as her only inheritance, she’s made herself Supay’s fiercest demon slayer, hunting muki—monsters born from human death—through the kingdom’s streets.

But the work comes with a curse of its own: every body she leaves behind swells the muki’s ranks. The city that raised her has been her cage for so long she’s stopped believing freedom is real.

Then a twist of fate drags her into the palace and crowns her Royal Demon Slayer, a title wrapped in silk and sharpened like a blade. The magic is dazzling. The secrets are darker. And whatever is poisoning Supay didn’t start in the alleys. It started behind gilded doors.

Worst of all is Reyes, the king's right-hand man, a captain of the Masters, and her personal torturer turned mentor who's dangerously hard to resist. Wanting him is a mistake. Trusting him could be fatal.

Because if Solana walks away, the kingdom falls. And if she stays, she may have to become the monster Supay needs.
