Princess Elora has a gift for the light, but her world is nothing but darkness. Her family is gone, her kingdom is in ashes, and the man responsible is dead-killed by his own son, Prince vaelorin.
Now, to save their starving people from a final collapse, the two heirs must do the unthinkable: marry. vaelorin is a king who hates his own crown. He ended his parents' lives to stop the slaughter, but he cannot wash the stain of their crimes from his skin. To Elora, he isn't a savior; he is a walking graveyard. Every time his shadow touches her light, she tastes the smoke of her burning home.
In a palace built on secrets and bones, they are bound by a vow but separated by a sea of blood. Can two enemies bridge a gap made of murder, or will their powers destroy the very peace they are trying to build?
