Quinn Darkova wandelt verloren im Reich der Dunkelheit. Lazarus Fierté ist nicht mehr der Mann, der er einst war. Als Bestie, verzehrt von seinem Kummer um Quinn, ist sein einziges Ziel Rache an dem Mann, der ihm seine Liebe entrissen hat. Kann Risk ihre Schwester aus der Dunkelheit befreien und damit Quinn und Lazarus retten? Bekommen Quinn und Lazarus die Chance, ihr gemeinsames Schicksal zu erfüllen?

Quinn Darkova kehrt nach einer langen Reise zurück und ist bereit, ihrem König zu dienen. Lazarus Fierté konnte den Thron für sich beanspruchen, doch der ist hart umkämpft. Die Bluterben erheben ihren Anspruch, doch das lässt Quinn nicht zu. Als sie ihrem König zur Seite steht, kommt ihre Grausamkeit zum Vorschein und lässt die Menschen, die sie liebt, fassungslos zurück.

Quinn Darkova kehrt zurück nach Hause und steht den Menschen gegenüber, die sie einst in die Sklaverei verkauft haben – ihren Eltern. Es gibt nur eines, das sie antreibt: ihre Rache. Vergeltung für zehn Jahre Schmerzen und Demütigung... und die Wiedergutmachung von allem Unrecht. Lazarus Fierté ahnt, dass es in Quinns Heimat nicht um seine Belange geht, doch er braucht ihr Volk auf seiner Seite.

Lazarus Fierté hat die mächtige Magierin Quinn Darkova an sich gebunden. Mit jedem Tag auf ihrer langen Reise spürt er, dass die Warnungen seiner Anhänger nicht unbegründet sind. Doch er ist sich Quinns Loyalität bewusst – und noch etwas anderem, das ein Mann wie Lazarus niemals zulassen kann. Gemeinsam schließen sie Bündnisse, überwinden hinterhältige Anschläge und dunklen Verrat. Lazarus’ Ziel ist in greifbarer Nähe. Er kann den Thron erobern, doch Quinn verheimlicht ihm etwas: Ihre Sehnsüchte reichen weit über ihre Loyalität hinaus.

Quinn Darkova, befreit von den Ketten der Sklaverei, will nichts mehr als Rache an denen, die sie verkauft haben. Aber da ihre dunklen Kräfte stark zunehmen und ihr Aufstieg kurz bevorsteht, muss Quinns Blutrache zugunsten ihres eigenen Überlebens warten. Lazarus Fierté ist ein Adliger ohnegleichen. Er ist ebenso kontrollsüchtig wie stur und hat die letzten sechs Jahre auf eine Frau gewartet – aber nicht auf irgendeine Frau. Eine dunkle Maji mit großer Macht, die zu schrecklichen Dingen fähig ist. Sie könnte der Schlüssel zu allem sein, was ihm lieb und teuer ist.

Mankind has ceded the night to the corelings, demons that rise up out of the ground each day at dusk, killing and destroying at will until dawn, when the sun banishes them back to the Core. As darkness falls, the world’s few surviving humans hide behind magical wards, praying the magic can see them through another night. As years pass, the distances between each tiny village seem longer and longer. It seems nothing can harm the corelings, or bring humanity back together.

As honored guest and beloved by Mazzulah, she wants for nothing. But when Risk enters the realm to save her, the dark god can't resist a good bargain.

Lazarus was warned that Quinn's power might be too great, even for him, but nothing prepared him for the truth of it until she held a dagger over him, and he was powerless to stop it. Now at odds with himself, the future king of Norcasta must find a way to regain control of his house and secure an alliance with the Pirate Queen...before fate tips its hand once more, and his carefully laid plans are led astray.

Bransen Garibond, the Highwayman, had little interest in the politics of Honce. To him, the two powerful warring lairds were the same sides of the same coin: The outcome for the people would be no different either way.

All that changes abruptly, however, when the sorceress Sharee re-enters his life with the forces of the warlike Lord Bellicose hard on her heels.
