The fall of Acadia was supposed to end the story.
Instead, it started a new one.
Seraphaine Vireth and Lamarque Ashfold left the ruined city carrying secrets powerful enough to shake the northern realm of Mythos. The problem is simple. Everyone wants those secrets.
Some believe Seraphaine is a dark fae who stole forbidden power from the ruins. Others believe Lamarque betrayed everything he once stood for by helping her escape.
Neither rumor tells the full story.
As word spreads across Mythos, the two of them become targets for courts, hunters, and rulers who want control over what really happened inside Acadia. Every question leads to another mystery. Every answer raises the stakes.
And something about Seraphaine is changing.
The more people talk about her, the more dangerous her magic becomes. No one fully understands why. Some want to study it. Others want to destroy it before it grows stronger.
Lamarque knows one thing for certain. The world is closing in, and the truth behind Acadia may be more dangerous than the ruin itself.
If Mythos learns what really happened, it could reshape the balance of power across the entire realm.
Pride of Mythos is the second book in the Ruined series, a dark epic fantasy featuring dangerous fae magic, political tension, and a slow-burn romance between two people who should never have trusted each other.
