Cloaked in darkness and wielding forbidden magic he's become the monster everyone believes him to be—until a chance encounter with street musician Lyra Nightshade changes everything. When Lyra's rare gift reveals not evil but centuries of hidden pain their unlikely connection threatens to shatter the carefully constructed walls around Zarus's heart. But as Magistrate Dorian Vale hunts the city's newest dark threat Zarus must choose between the safety of isolation and the dangerous vulnerability of letting someone see his true soul. In a world where necromancy equals evil can love bloom between light and shadow?
