Only the Grey, the benevolent monarchs across the world of Idris, are capable of living among both races and under their rule, Duun has known only peace for centuries.
As new opportunity rose, however, with open borders and equality between the two races beginning to become a reality, the Grey were struck down, leaving the once peaceful nation to descend into chaos with no royal bloodline remaining.
Except for one.

When her Grey heritage is revealed, however, she finds herself in the middle of a war full of secrets and difficult choices between love against duty, tradition over change, and Light versus Dark.
