Viola Sinclair has hidden her shadow magic her whole life. Discovery means certain death, for in the Kingdom of Aragoa dark magic is forbidden.

If he fails, he will be the one to die.

Forced to work together, Viola and Roze uncover terrible secrets, sinister threats . . . and an irresistible attraction. Can they learn to trust each other in time to save themselves--and bring the light back to Aragoa?
