Kingship changes and a sweltering summer. What could possibly go wrong?

Versont made a promise to a dying king, who ruled by the Dark. Now he must step out to claim the reign of Palanon. But will the kingdom have an alcoholic free spirit on the throne? As the Truth Bearer for the Light, he can’t tell a lie, even to himself. The Dark pushes him in the hopes he would falter into a lie or succumb to the truth.

Rhoanda, tenth princess of Palanon, seen as the baby of the family betrothed to a besotted king of a tiny mountain kingdom, must prove herself worthy. Her sanctioned training by an assassin clashes with Palanon’s expectations of a prim princess. She must step out as her true self in the Light to become the queen Versont truly needs at his side.

They must survive the onslaught of storms and accusations to break the Dark of Palanon.
