When people begin vanishing from both the Light and Dark Kingdoms, ancient magic long thought destroyed begins to stir. Layla Lavender, the newly crowned heir of the Light Kingdom, is forced into an uneasy alliance with Dane Steel, a powerful vampire mage from the Dark Kingdom. As light and dark magic collide, they uncover a buried truth about their kingdoms’ shared past—and a force beyond the Arctic Wall that threatens to erase them both. This is a story of light versus dark, truth versus rumor, and two people raised to fear each other who must stand together to survive.
