He let her go once. Doing it again might destroy him. After helping Ayse escape, the last thing Prince Seok expected was freedom. But when unlikely allies intervene, the shadow prince is sent north to investigate border towns that have mysteriously vanished overnight.
Meanwhile, Ayse-now botanist-turned-fugitive-hides on the edge of Fey territory. She's closer than ever to unlocking the magic of the plants and ending the plague devouring her kingdom... until she collides with someone she never thought she'd see again.
With rebellion rising, countless starving, and Ittorans disappearing without a trace, Seok and Ayse are running out of time. To survive, they must quickly decide where their loyalties truly lie.
Because twilight is falling fast-and they may not see another morning.
This epic romantasy novel is the second in a slow-burn series where the stakes-and the spice-rise with each sequel. This series will appeal to fans of immersive, romantic high fantasy such as A Court of Thorns and Roses, From Blood and Ash, The Cruel Prince, and Kingdom of the Wicked.
