Light and dark don't mix. Everyone believes it. Everyone except Luka, the young royal advisor of the Kingdom of Light who believes that the Kingdom of Light and the Realm of Darkness could once again be allies if only the effort were made. And with the unexpected arrival of Mavra, crown prince of the Realm of Darkness, it seems the opportunity may be at hand.

But when he's met with distrust and then framed for a terrible crime, he begins to doubt the hope he once held. To survive, he'll have to put his trust in Luka. With a devastating war born of treachery looming on the horizon, Luka and Mavra's only hope is to rely on an unexpected alliance with one another. How far will each go to save their kingdoms? And what of the attraction blooming between them? Will duty and honor demand everything they have? Or is there a chance of a future for light and darkness together?
