Faraine, an overlooked and gods-gifted princess, is dragged along when her family brokers a marriage between her favored younger sister and Vor, the brooding Shadow King of the subterranean realm of Mythanar. When the alliance falls apart, Faraine is forced to take her sister's place as bride, adjusting to life in the Under Realm while growing closer to a husband who does not trust her. Political intrigue, hidden curses, and a slow-building attraction propel the alternating his-and-hers narrative toward a dramatic, unresolved finish.
