There is a darkness spreading across the land, war. A war none were prepared to face, or stop. Living in a land of relative peace, none of the ruling shifter families command armies, so when one of their own turn against them, one by one they fall into his enslavement. Dante, a prince struggling to uphold the weight of his father's crown, is happy slinking about in his wolf form and avoiding the disapproving glares of his council. When Nakai begs him for sanctuary, she brings with her tales of the darkest magic as mad royal wields it in a wave of bloodshed. Together, can they find a way to stop the serpent prince before he poisons the magic of their homes? The debut book of author C. H. Knyght, and the first in the Nightvision Trilogy.
