Book Two of the epic romantasy quartet featuring an asexual king, his yearning knight and the people they must protect.
King Richard of Ardenia knows fear well. The veil is his kingdom’s only defence against Gloamvarn—a neighbouring realm of monsters—and it is crumbling.
In a bid to gather allies for the coming war, Richard throws open his court for a grand Summer Ball. As he navigates political wiles and new threats, it becomes hard to hold steady.
Harder still, when bitter arguments erupt between him and his devoted knight.
Meanwhile, a long-buried secret threatens to shatter his family and court, and through it all, the Gloam King waits with a smile.
There’s no stopping the veil’s fall, Galdran whispers.
Invasion is inevitable.
And you, and all of yours, will be mine.
