<p>Aurora is a Korai—a daughter of one of the three celestial titans. She can heal deadly wounds, sense the truth from a lie, and wield the sun's flames. But these powers won't be hers for long. Now that Aurora has come of age, a tradition must be honored: The Trials. Competitors risk everything in deadly tests of strength and cunning for the right to claim Aurora's power as their own. And the favorite to win? The aging emperor's son and heir.</p> <p>No one can match Prince Varian in power, or in looks. Not until Aidoneus —Hades' own son—breaks into the palace and announces his intention to compete. But when Aurora unwittingly saves his life in the First Trial, strange powers stir, and a priestess is gruesomely murdered. The son of Hades is arrested for the crime and sentenced to death, but Aurora is a Korai, and truth is her curse. Her instincts tell her something darker is at work.</p> <p>When a second life is taken, Aurora races to discover the truth behind the deaths before the Trials conclude and her access to her power ends—along with Aidoneus' life. But as Aurora searches for answers, the very foundations of her world are upset by revelations that prove nothing is what it seems. Aurora must make a choice: allow her power to be used in service of evil or fight the empire with everything she has.</p>
