The faint fire of magic within them flickers and dies. Their eyes turn black as night. They are nightborn now.

Grace Marchant and Prince Bastien saved the kingdom once before. But an ancient force now threats Larelwynn. The mageborn they saved are becoming nightborn - cruel and deadly.

Striking a deal with enemy, neighbouring Valenti, is now their only hope. But it comes at a devastating price... If Grace wants to save the kingdom, she must watch Bastien marry a Valenti princess.

With time running out, Grace knows she must make this sacrifice - but her own magic, usually so bright, is turning black as midnight...

As a stony distance grows between her and Bastien, can Grace find the source of the nightborn curse before they're all consumed by darkness - including herself?

Combining sizzling romance, courtly intrigue, and heart-in-your-mouth action, this dark and addictive fantasy series is perfect for fans of Graceling and Emily R. King.
