The Prince of Power and Lies (Smoke and Shadows #2)

For two months, Reign has endured chains, torture, and the relentless cruelty of King Cimmerian—yet she refuses to unleash the mysterious power he desperately wants. While her body breaks, her mind survives by clinging to memories of a father she can never return to.

But every act of defiance pushes the king closer to his limits. As his patience wears thin and darker methods await, Reign must decide how much suffering she can endure before the only choices left are surrender… or death. And if the power inside her is finally unleashed, who will it destroy first?
