Facing overwhelming odds, they must forge unexpected alliances and confront the darkness threatening to consume them all in this brutal, high-stakes gambit where victory will be measured in blood, and survival is not guaranteed.
For the alchemist Sara and her winged lover, Aeron, their passionate love affair is both a sanctuary and their greatest strength as they fight to avenge their friend. For Gryff, his love for Niri drives him to cross the line from thief to warrior as he launches a bloody, one-man war against the dreaded Dark Riders.In this tale of friendship, love, and the enduring power of kindness in a terribly cruel world, the central trio of characters must discover the depths of their courage and just how far they will go for those they love. But in a war against pure evil, victory may cost them more than their lives.
