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.
Reading soundtrack
Ethereal dark fantasy romance with sweeping orchestral arrangements, haunting vocals, and tender acoustic moments. Mix gothic atmosphere with lush melodies—think Evanescence, Halsey, and Bon Iver. Capture the tension between shadow and light, duty and desire, enemies becoming lovers.
