(Book 5 in the fantasy series, The Crowns)
Having watched Escarral's fall and grappling with her heartbreak with losing one she loved, Lyv struggles to keep her dark magic at bay.  Knowledge is power in itself, though...and hidden within the depths of the Ayverian university library, she finds something that will twist everything they knew about Corliss on its head.
For Jai, it didn't take long for him to figure out Lyv's light and dark magic were now intertwined.  In watching her struggle, he knows he will do whatever it takes to help her, just as Corliss's mate Meron did before him.    
With their world threatened by Corliss's thirst for total darkness, they will do anything to figure out how to not only defeat her, but also rid Lyv of her own dark magic.  For that to happen, though, they must dig into her past before the darkness took over...and learn what really happened straight from those who were there at the start of it all - Allel, Mik, and Kalla.  But there are secrets even they kept from each other, secrets that take them all into lands unknown to get the answers they need before the final battle of darkness and light begins.
