I thought I understood darkness. I was wrong. A realm long believed to be nothing more than legend now holds me captive, its cruel king whispering secrets of my lineage, of power buried deep in my bones-power he intends to steal for himself. King Helroth claims to know who I truly am... what I truly am. The longer I remain in his grasp, the more my memories fracture. The more the shadows whisper. And the more I wonder, what if he's right? Beyond the cursed mystical borders of this prison, Reign is unraveling. I feel it in the fraying bond that once tethered us heart to heart. He's searching for me, driven by desperation, but I fear I won't be the girl he remembers once he finds me. The courts are in chaos, teetering on the brink of war as a long-forgotten power rises from the ashes. With the looming prophecy, enemies turn to allies and with each passing day, the fate of our realm becomes more uncertain. Reign and I have defied fate before...But this time, I'm afraid it might break us.
