A dark Rumpelstiltskin retelling.

The balance within the realm has shifted, and one must rise to fight the emerging darkness.

But what would happen if the one meant to rise, joins the darkness instead of standing against it?

Not everything is as it seems, and everyone is keeping secrets.

When attacks are coming from every side and you can no longer trust those around you, how far would you go to reclaim the life that was stolen from you?

Harlowe

Peace between Valoren and Pyrithia was built on a knife’s edge, dependent on both sides remaining on their own side of the border.

So when the most lethal warriors in all the realm fly in on the backs of their dragons unannounced, I’m prepared to defend my kingdom with my life.

Despite my mistrust, I can’t help feeling drawn to the enigmatic, sexy-as-sin General of the Cathal.

Silas can be summarized in three words: Dangerous. Deadly. Deceitful.

So why can’t I fight this pull I feel towards him?

Silas

I have a job to do and the Princess of Valoren is a distraction I simply do not need.

And yet, I want to possess her, to own her, to make her mine.

But I’m not the only one hunting her.
