I had dreamt of the day that I could make them all feel just as small as they’ve made me feel. But I never thought I’d actually have the chance... until I met him. He said he could help me. He told me he saw power in me. I fell for it… fell for him. But he lied. Just like the rest of them did. He used me for his own good. Masked my darkness with a bloodlust I couldn’t control. But I craved it. I envied it. He made me stronger for it. And not even my beloved King stood a chance. You see, he may be the most powerful, murderous night stalker the world has ever known, but didn't they ever tell him? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? Till death do us part, my love.

I created a monster. And she draws me in like a moth to a flame. But she’s not my only affliction. There’s a war on the rise and I can’t focus on much else when my wife teeters the edge of self-destruction. She quite literally lit my world on fire and I am trapped by the torment I’ve caused her. I have never been afraid of the dark. But she is my gravest shadow and if I can’t help her to step back into the light before time is up, we both might just drown in the darkness. Of all the things that unravel in the kingdom: treason, betrayal, revenge, curses, and war . . . My only hope is that I can survive my sweetest sin.
