He is the night. She is the dawn. If they touch, they burn. If they separate, the world ends.
Caedryn Blackvein is a monster to his enemies and a ghost to his people. Cursed with a blood-magic that turns his flesh into living shadow, he is the Gloam-Born, a prince who carries the memories of the dead in his veins. After his kingdom is stolen by a sorcerer preaching the seductive peace of eternal silence, Caedryn is left with nothing but a rusted sword, a spectral wolf who used to be his brother, and a terrifying need for revenge.
Maereth Ashcombe is a Seer who perceives the emotional fault lines of the world. Hunted by the very order she served, she carries a secret that burns hotter than fire: she is the only vessel capable of wielding the Sun-Shard, a relic of raw, nuclear daylight.
When their paths collide in the frozen ruins of a dying empire, they discover a dangerous truth: their powers are incompatible. His shadow devours; her light incinerates. But as the Silence spreads, turning cities into graveyards of sleeping statues, Caedryn and Maereth must find a way to entwine their opposing natures without destroying each other.
To reclaim his throne, the Shadowed King must learn to trust the light. To save the future, the Dawn-Seer must learn to embrace the dark. And together, they must decide if a broken world is worth saving, even if the price is their own souls.
A Dark Place: When Kingdoms Fall is a harrowing epic of war, magic, and a romance forged in the fires of the apocalypse.
