Talasyn plays the role of willing empress while her allies plot to destroy her husband's rule. The Lightweaver married Alaric, master of the Shadowforged Legion, to forge peace between their warring nations. But their political alliance feels anything but peaceful. Sparks fly between the former enemies as they're forced into close quarters. Talasyn faces an impossible choice when her rebellion prepares to strike. Can she trust the man she was meant to hate? Meanwhile, the Moonless Dark threatens to consume everything. This cataclysmic magical disaster can only be stopped by Talasyn and Alaric working together, combining light and shadow magic. Yet even this world-ending crisis pales next to the schemes of Alaric's father. The Hurricane Wars continue, and both spouses must decide what they're willing to sacrifice and whom they'll fight to protect.
