Wrennlyn Stallard has spent her life protected within Silvervale's walls, the Day King's only daughter destined for an arranged marriage. On her betrothal night, everything changes when Onyx strikes. The ruthless warrior from the Night Realm has worked months as a thrall in her father's court, waiting for this moment to seize her. He drags her across frozen lands into the Shadow Rift, the dangerous territory between Day and Night realms. Onyx plans to deliver her to the Night King, but the sheltered princess proves far more defiant and clever than he expected. She cannot be broken easily. Yet killing her would ruin everything, because Wrennlyn carries the blood of the White Raven. One hundred and ninety-nine years after the Blood War divided the realm and stripped the ravens of their wings, her power could heal the cursed land and unite the fractured kingdoms. As Onyx struggles with his captive, both discover that whoever controls the White Raven controls everything.
