Dion Evestre has been the right hand to the Fae king for over eighty years. In that time, he has fulfilled every dark order presented to him, each one hardening his heart. But two women, from two different times, will test Dion as he never has been before.

Ciaragen Vey: wielder of shadows, daughter to a famed general...and orchestrator of the destruction of the Fae king and his reign. Will she succeed in her task, or will her darkness and desires be her downfall?

Althea Cardenia: fourth in line to the crown of the human continent, and a powerful healer. In a centuries-old tradition, she must choose a man to marry by her twenty-first birthday. She's resolved to do her duty, despite the part of her that wishes for more.

But, as always happens in faerie tales, Althea learns to be careful what she wishes for. Because the fate that comes to her in the final hour is far worse than the last.

With no knowledge nor experience in how to fight this new enemy, Althea finds herself forced to do something even harder: to trust them. Him. The one who betrayed her, and her family.

Or, maybe she'll stab him-again.
