“beloved.
I am with you.”

— the living saint

The Saint lives and the Empire crumbles.

The resurrection of the Saint brought death and destruction to the now fractured Empire of the White Snake. As cities bow and break beneath his merciless rule, people are desperate for a champion capable of reversing the terror he's unleashed.

Sorcha, loyal priestess and now confidant of the Saint, has forgotten everything before his rebirth. In an instant, he wiped her memories and left her with nothing but inexplicable loneliness. But pressure is building and fragments of her life before the Saint have begun to surface. In her nightmares a man wearing a wolf skull holds out his hand, waiting for her to take it.

Adrian, once the notorious Wolf and killer of cities, is tormented by the final moments he spent with Sorcha. Now, he scours the continent for those who might help him undo the terrible mistakes of the past. But the brothers-in-arms he betrayed are close on his heels, determined to have their revenge and prove that love is no protection from death.

Old scores will be settled.

Sorcha and Adrian will have to find their way back to each other if there is to be any hope of defeating the immortal Saint. But her stability has been shaken and she distrusts everything, especially her memories and the man who claims to love her. Adrian must convince her that their hearts were once connected by the delicate thread of fate—and their lives depend on it.

Love is worth fighting for.

The future of the Empire will be decided by monsters or men—the world will end in darkness or light.

The Saint is ready.
