Enter the land of Valdenia, where dreams rot and nightmares rule. Raine Chambrin always knew he had a secret. He just didn't expect to be the secret. One ill-conceived act is all it takes. Now, the truth is out, and he's being hunted by the Guardians of Vale-his childhood heroes. Finding his mate amid the danger and chaos should be a cause for celebration. A sliver of sunlight in a stormy sky. Only, it isn't. Because Sidian Wade, a ruthless captain in the Guardians, seeks Raine's capture and execution at all costs. Enemies are plentiful and allies, spare. Raine wonders what it says about him, that those sworn to protect his country are after his death?
