After nearly losing each other in a savage attack on the city, Vor and Faraine return to Mythanar fully committed to their marriage. But the situation in the Under Realm remains dire. With the world poised on the brink of collapse, Vor struggles to protect his kingdom. And though Faraine longs to support him as queen, she fights her body at every turn.

When war drags them apart, Vor and Faraine face the consequences of their choices. Torn between honor and desire, Vor must decide where his heart truly lies: with his kingdom or his queen.

Meanwhile, as Faraine explores the strange changes warping her gods-gift, she starts to believe the coming cataclysm may be prevented. But in doing so, she might unleash a darkness in herself far more disastrous…and lose Vor forever.

Meet the Author:

Sylvia Mercedes makes her home in the idyllic North Carolina countryside with her handsome husband, numerous small children, and the dynamic cat duo known as The Fluffy Brothers. When she’s not writing she’s . . . okay, let’s be honest. When she’s not writing, she’s running around after her little girl, cleaning up glitter, trying to plan healthy-ish meals, and wondering where she left her phone. In between, she reads a steady diet of fantasy novels.

But mostly she’s writing.

After a short career in traditional publishing (under a different name), Sylvia decided to take the plunge into the indie publishing world and is enjoying every minute of it. She’s the author of the bestselling Venatrix Chronicles, The Scarred Mage of Roseward trilogy, and the romantic fantasy duology, Of Candlelight and Shadows.
