King Ciaran, ruler of the doomed throne of Lumeria, has spent his entire life searching for a way to escape the eternal night cursing his land—a place where the light doesn’t shine and the hope of spring is but a distant dream. No matter his desperation, he would rather live forever in darkness than taint his soul with the solution foretold: claiming the daughter of the Enchantress who first doomed the land as his stolen bride.
When his brother takes matters into his own hands and kidnaps the woman destined to restore the light, the last thing Ciaran wants is to trap Aurora in his world of shadows…yet the curse will spread should she try to leave. In her hopes that her sacrifice can pay penance for the devastation her mother caused and free the kingdom, Aurora agrees to a marriage of convenience with the dark king.
Their arrangement begins without love or any hope of happiness…until Aurora discovers her dormant powers to create the light the doomed kingdom has all but forgotten, a light that grows the deeper the love between her and the cursed king becomes. But the darkness is gradually growing stronger; soon it will be too powerful for Aurora’s budding powers. If it succeeds in claiming her, the curse will not only extinguish the light…but Aurora and King Ciaran’s love forever.
