Allhan, a computer genius working for the Brotherhood, is already living with a deadly secret and a dangerous pull toward Vishous.
Princess Dennesha, heir to the throne of the Shadows, prefers to keep her distance from everyone else's fate until a human draws her in against every instinct she trusts.
A chance meeting turns Allhan and Denne's attraction into a passion neither of them can dismiss, even as the war with the Lessening Society presses closer.
A rare astrological event then demands that the princess mate a male she does not love and take the throne, or follow her heart and leave the Territory facing destruction.
While Allhan wrestles with his conscience and a lesser hunts Wrath and the Brothers, love and duty may leave them nothing they can keep.
