--

Life in the perilous Thorn district is a constant battle for Arvelle and her younger brothers.


Faced with an unthinkable choice, Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to do the impossible: kill the emperor, an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros.


But first, she must enter the Sundering — an arena where only the fastest, strongest, and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor’s elite guard.


As stakes rise and secrets emerge, she quickly draws the ire of the Primus, the powerful figure charged with protecting the emperor — while also finding herself depending on the enemy to hone her power... the emperor’s vampiric son.


To survive the arena and complete her mission, Arvelle must uncover a deadly conspiracy that will change everything she thought she knew about herself — and the two vampires who are deeply entwined with her destiny.

I wanted to like this book. The premise is laid out well early on. and is really interesting...then it's downhill from there. The main characters are quite boring and the plot is repetitive, all one note with very few crescendos. Not a lot happens to evolve the main character, and what does take place is very underwhelming.
