Story Notes
Summary
Hidden within a quiet border village, rebellion converges on an exile in a dance of light and shadow. Namara Amadriel, a former queen evading evil, tends wounds as a healer despite the scars of her grief—surviving only to provide for her twins. But when a dying rebel crashes through her door, transporting a stolen amulet bearing substantial power, she’s thrown back into the fraught storm of an unstable empire she thought she’d left behind. With Emperor Nefarik’s ruthless Dark Knight, Nox Dominus, hunting every spark of insurgency, Namara must choose between the obscured sanctuary of her cottage and the ember of revolution pulsing in her grasp. But the Dark Knight seems hauntingly familiar. His shadowed past is entwined with hers in ways both dangerous and intoxicating. Each encounter blurs the lines between enemies and something far more perilous. Past loyalties stir in rebel ranks, and her children’s safety hangs in the balance. As old wounds ache, and forbidden desires ignite, every heartbeat becomes a battle. Will she risk her heart to claim the light, or let the shadows of her past extinguish hope for good?
