When Elaine Archerson accepts a position as a servant in the royal castle, she believes she is leaving behind nothing more than a poor village and a painful past.
Instead, she walks into the heart of an ancient curse.
A forgotten valley whispers the names of the dead. Warriors turned to stone stand frozen where they took their final breath. And beneath the kingdom, something older than war waits patiently to awaken.
Caught between a kind-hearted king who sees hope where others see weakness and a mysterious knight whose hatred hides a lifetime of secrets, Elaine becomes the center of a destiny she never asked for.
As forgotten swords awaken a darkness forged centuries ago, the line between love and sacrifice begins to disappear.
To save everyone she loves, Elaine must enter a world from which no soul has ever returned.
Because some curses cannot be broken by strength.
Some can only be broken by love.
And sometimes...
the greatest battle is not against the darkness.
It is against the darkness inside yourself.
