After Cressa and Madis leave, Sera and the god return to the townhouse to investigate the murders. She tries to fight him, but he deflects all of her blows, and he successfully subdues her, taking her away from the scene before they are caught and they share a heated kiss in order to not be recognized.

After the Vodina Isles rejects an alliance with Lasania, Sera is ordered to go after Lord Claus and executes him. Three years later, Sera has been stripped of her title of Maiden and she works for her mother as a handmaiden and assassin, essentially doing her mother's dirty work. Everyone, including Sera, believes that she has failed the kingdom and all is doomed. Every year afterwards, she is once again veiled and brought to the Shadow Temple in hope that the Primal of Death will arrive and take her as his Consort, but he never shows. Calliphe is enraged with her daughter, believing that she did something wrong, and strikes her. However, he refuses her, stating he has "no need of a Consort". On her 17th birthday, Sera has her Rite where Nyktos will collect her as his Consort. As no one besides the royal family knew Sera existed, Tavius then became known as the heir for the throne. With Ernald came his two children, Tavius and Ezmeria. Thus, Sera was trained to be able to fight and seduce him, as the only true weakness to a Primal is falling in love.Īt some point during her childhood, Queen Calliphe remarried Ernald, who became Sera's stepfather and the new king. She was raised in secret and trained by Sir Holland to become an assassin, as her mother and others believed that the only way to stop the rots progression would be to kill the Primal of Death. Besides her immediate family and very few others, no one knew her true identity.
When Sera was born, the Rot began to spread again.īoth of her parents were aware of the fate that awaited Seraphena, and after her father committed suicide when she was too young to remember him, Sera's mother hid her away. Long before her birth, the Primal of Death made a deal with her ancestor, King Roderick Mierel, to temporarily keep back the Rot that affected the land in exchange for the firstborn daughter of the Mierel line as a consort.
Seraphena was born the daughter of the King and Queen of Lasania.
