READ IT BECAUSE
Dive into the obsidian heart of Commorragh and witness the return of its deadliest legend. As schemes unfold like blades in the dark, Lelith Hesperax must do what she does best—cut through the lies, the rivals, and the treachery, one exquisite kill at a time.

THE STORY
In the shadow-soaked labyrinth of the webway festers Commorragh, the Dark City—an empire of cruelty and excess where agony is art and survival is spectacle. Among its blood-drenched arenas, none are more feared—or more adored—than Lelith Hesperax, the Queen of Knives, a symphony of murder in motion.

But even perfection has its price.

Having turned her back on Commorragh to walk among the death-worshipping cults of Ynnead, Lelith has left a vacuum—a crown soaked in blood, now sought by countless pretenders. When an unseen assassin’s blade dares to strike her from the shadows, she is drawn back into the city of knives.

Waiting for her is Asdrubael Vect, the Living Muse of Destruction, whose plots run deeper than any blade can reach. As his games tighten around her like a noose of obsidian, Lelith must navigate betrayal, ambition, and carnage on a scale even she has never faced.

To survive the Dark City, to reclaim her throne, and to carve her name into eternity once more, she must prove one thing beyond doubt:

No one dances the blade like the Queen of Knives.
