They told me the Shadow King was a monster. They were wrong. The real monsters were the ones who kept me in the light.
Princess Aurelia isn't a royal; she's a battery. Forced to suppress her volatile light magic to power her cruel mother's failing city, she is simply waiting for the day she is drained completely.
Then Kaelen, the terrifying King of the Underworld, steals her away into the dark.
Expecting a dungeon, Aurelia instead finds a sanctuary-and a fiercely protective warrior who vows to tear the world apart when he discovers the scars her mother left behind. As Kaelen teaches her to wield her magic as a weapon, the slow burn between them ignites into a scorching bond.
But when the blinding armies of the Light march on the Underworld, Aurelia must choose: surrender to the cage that broke her, or stand beside her Shadow King and fight.
