Light cannot always illuminate-- sometimes the truth lies in Darkness... Prince Theryn and his loyal knight, Sir Atrum, are both bound by duty: Theryn serves the kingdom of Glinden, and Atrum serves his prince. Although they harbor a secret love, a relationship between a prince and his servant is forbidden. Things change when the king promises Theryn's hand in an arranged marriage to the volatile Prince Lyar of the Soltaran Empire, who needs Theryn's Light magic for some sinister religious rite. Theryn and Atrum's struggle to discover Lyar's scheme brings them together at last, but there is more at stake than their happiness. Atrum discovers Dark magic of his own, but neither his love nor his power may be enough to save Theryn from Lyar's dangerously seductive pull. And if Atrum loses Theryn, the world as they know it may be lost as well. An epic fantasy tale of sword and sorcery, with a gay romance twist.
