They will tell you that love is the awakening of the soul, reaching out to entwine with another. They say that love itself is flawless, though its two lovers may be inherently flawed. He said love was like the moon -- unappreciated, yet purge the night of its gentle illumination, and people will begin to understand its necessity and beauty.

Love is all these things and more. It is pain, searing fire ripping through sanity. It is hatred of life's cruel fate, regret of taking its beauty for granted, guilt for feeling a spark of connection with anyone else.

King Yoongi's untimely death plunges the kingdom of Joseon into a period of darkness. No one grieves more than his wife, Baram, who is now tasked with finding a suitable successor. The clock is ticking, as Japan grows bolder with its invasions, yet how can any king compare to Baram's beloved? Who can shatter her wall of grief and prove that love is not an impossible dream?
