What connects the spoiled prince-exile and the sharp-tongued girl who grew up in poverty? Ransar and Adyara themselves don’t know the answer, but their forced flight makes them search for it. While they’re being pursued by the ruler’s personal guard, they discover a shocking truth: Adyara’s magic is the only chance to save the kingdom, and Ransar is merely a pawn in a game where her life is on the line. Their mutual attraction is as dangerous as the enemies standing in their way. To survive, they must learn to trust each other, because only the union of blade and shadow can bring light into a world ruled by darkness, where the sun has become only a vague memory. Beware... In the Realm of Eternal Night, the truth may cost a life.
