For fans of Tasha Suri's The Jasmine Throne and Rebecca Roanhorse's Black Sun, this debut sapphic rivals-to-lovers fantasy series is based on Incan mythology, featuring an ambitious soldier and a reluctant princess on a quest across the empire.

Sinchinrei has one goal: rise through the ranks of the Inkan army and prove her worth to the mother who abandoned her.

So when the empire’s sacred Guardians choose her, not the legendary princess, as the hero against an age-old calamity, Sinchinrei is eager to take up the mantle of savior. But calamity strikes early, forcing her and the furious princess together on a quest across the empire . . . unprepared and at each other’s throats.

With the princess determined to escape their shared fate and an empire on the brink of ruin, Sinchinrei’s relentless ambition could cost her everything: her glory and her heart.
