A land far to the north, a land shadowed in mysticism. A land spoken about only in whispers; a land cursed. A land where creatures of old are rumored to exist, and where the taint of an ancient city still lingers.

Yet this is the place Kellen finds he has to go, despite his fears as Black Guard invade his homeland. He is captured by the rebel forces and unwittingly joins their cause to save the Throne and a beloved princess.

His path seems simple until he meets Sasheer, a man hauntingly familiar, handsome beyond compare, but more dangerous than all the dark whispers combined. A man willingly partnered with a creature of death.

Plagued by nightmares and doubts, Kellen must decide what is real and what is imagined before the past awakens to kill them all.
