Traitor of the Drowned Empire

The highly anticipated fifth book in the Drowned Empire romantasy series! A forsworn traitor. A reluctant revolutionary. After the devastating events of the arena, every soldier in Lumeria has been ordered to hunt Lyriana Batavia down. With her allies scattered across the Empire and her soulmate Rhyan Hart now a soulless akadim, Lyr is more alone than she's ever been. With the exception of one shocking ally - Auriel, Rhyan's former incarnation. Emperor Avery Kormac continues his cruel and unrelenting reign, and his named leader, Lord Tristan Grey finds himself in the compromising position of hunting his own - whilst keeping his own powers hidden. Alongside the growing threat of Moriel, his army begins hunting for a secret weapon, the answer to which may just lie with Lyr's former mate... Lyr must decode the mystery of why Auriel has returned in order for them both to survive. But the closer they get, the more danger they face as a secret that's been locked away for centuries is revealed. A secret that will alter the fate of the Empire forever.
