She broke the world to save it. Now she has to survive the ruin.

Elara Voss is no longer the pristine Sun’s Grace of Solara. She is the Queen of the Night, ruling a kingdom of shadows alongside her husband, King Draven. But their victory came at a terrible cost. The parasitic Rot has been stabilized, but the man who created it-her uncle Aurelius-has escaped into the lawless Wilds. And he has left behind a trail of bodies stripped of their souls. When a survivor stumbles into Shadowreach with a warning carved into his flesh, Elara and Draven realize the war isn’t over.

Aurelius is building a new army, one made of hollow men fueled by stolen light. To stop him, they must venture into the deep Wilds, a place where reality bends and magic hunger is a physical force. But Elara carries a secret darkness of her own. Her new hybrid magic is volatile, addictive, and growing stronger every day. As they hunt down the source of the corruption, Elara begins to fear that the greatest threat to her kingdom isn’t the exiled Chancellor. It’s the Queen herself.
