Branded an omen of doom by a corrupt high priest who forged the royal oracles, Princess Zoe is sentenced to execution as a newborn before her mother casts her into the underworld river. Rescued by the ruler of Tartarus, she is raised into a peerless warrior unaware of her imperial origins.
Returning to the obsidian capital disguised as an ordinary blood slave, Zoe shatters the chains binding her mother to a sacrificial pillar. When dark deities are summoned to cleanse the realm, Zoe's ancestral seals rupture, revealing her primordial bloodline as she rises to take the imperial throne.
