They are the only key to save their precious world Lumien from the upcoming chaos that will befall them. What are the truths that unfolds within? Will they be able to succeed in their mission? *** "Lumien is a special place that holds deep in our hearts. And no one can ever take our home from us no matter what.

We will fight for our rights and nothing can stop us, no one can steal and control Lumien, not even you, Darkxyney, the Demon-God." Darkxyney laughed and mocked them for his stupid remark. "Bring it on! Even if you have the other weak legendary dragons, hah! Even if you locate that good-for-nothing White Dragon Empress, I will still win and rule over Lumien and then the whole universe! I'll finally be able to replace my darn mother for being the Universe Goddess!" she laughed evilly as if she had won. Everyone looked uneasy as they felt Darkxyney was stronger than before.

Beneath the jeweled veils and gilded cruelty of her desert cage, she hides a secret. A magic older than any spell, born not to create, but to unmake. A reaper, forged by the stars to end what should never have been born. When two warriors from the Night Court arrive-Azriel, cloaked in shadows, and Cassian, fury given form they come seeking diplomacy. Trade. And something more. A weapon. A girl. A key. What they find instead is a soul on the edge of awakening, and a bond quietly thrumming between her and the shadowsinger who is determined to save her from a marriage with the cruel, horrific High Lord's son. But fate is rarely kind. And nothing that blooms in the dark is ever left untouched. Now, Seraphira must learn to trust again. To fight again, to feel once more.
