A hundred years ago, the Moon Goddess was executed.
Before her death, she promised she would return. Since then, the kingdom of Herlon has been trapped beneath an endless night. Its people, pale wraith-like beings born from darkness, survive through ancient alchemy while slowly fading from the world they once ruled.
Across the sea lies Helion, the kingdom of the Sun God, where powerful solar mages wield light itself as a weapon.
For generations, the two realms have been at war. Cendera, heir to Herlon's throne, has spent his entire life believing that Helion's people are monsters. But when he encounters Seryra, a captured Helionite princess awaiting execution, he discovers a truth far more dangerous than any enemy. As ancient prophecies awaken, gods long thought dead begin to stir, and the fragile peace between darkness and light threatens to shatter forever. Bound by fate, haunted by the sins of their ancestors, Cendera and Seryra must decide whether they will continue a war centuries in the making-or become the ones who finally end it. In a world of immortal wraiths, solar magic, forbidden love, and forgotten gods, even the smallest act of mercy can change the fate of kingdoms.
