It is two thousand long years into the future. There is no more Earth. There is only Callistra.

Her grandmother, the most powerful witch in Eo, has fallen sick, and Pasiphae is suspected to be responsible. Forced to flee her homelands for treason against her coven, the only way to clear her name is to find the true traitor. Pasiphae has no choice but to venture deep into unknown territory with help from one of the fae. He can help her find the cause of the illness from within the Unseelie Court, where the walls talk and the shadows move, and she can do for him what the fae cannot do themselves: lie. But a conspiracy is unravelling in this foreign land swathed under perpetual night. All Pasiphae wanted was to prove her innocence, but within the heady darkness of the malevolent faery court, there is love and betrayal so potent it could ruin the world a second time.

But her village, with everyone she knows, is captured and taken to the Colorless Land. Left to their own devices, the two set out to rescue the villagers while outrunning their own pursuers.

Caught in the crossfire, she is saved by a mysterious stranger, Kaelith, a man who walks in shadows and seems to know far more about the world than he lets on.

Rylla soon discovers that her connection to magic runs deeper than she ever imagined, and the dreams that have haunted her for years may hold the key to her destiny. Torn between the familiar and the unknown, she must decide who to trust as ancient enemies awaken, and a new darkness threatens to engulf both worlds. With Kaelith as her guide, Rylla embarks on a dangerous journey to unlock the secrets of her past and confront the truth about her identity. But Kaelith himself harbors dark secrets, and his connection to the shadowy war that tore their worlds apart might not be as innocent as it seems. Their bond deepens into something neither expected, but with tensions rising and enemies closing in, they must learn to navigate their fragile alliance-before it's too late. In a tale of love, war, and the blurred lines between light and shadow, Rylla must uncover the truth behind the prophecies that have shaped her fate, and confront the darkness that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear.
