About this book

Get ready to fall even harder for the rulers of Lightlark in this stunning dual novella that gives you the chance to see their love stories through their own eyes. Grim's tale pulls back the curtain on his dark past and the choices that led him to Isla, while Oro's story reveals the agonizing conflict between his duty as king and his all-consuming devotion to the woman he loves. Both perspectives are equally swoon-worthy and utterly compelling, and honestly, this book might just make you question everything you thought you knew about who deserves Isla's heart. It's the perfect collector's edition for anyone obsessed with the Lightlark world and ready to experience these epic romances from a whole new angle.
