Born without magic and overshadowed by his revered brother, King Tiberius, Herbosh has spent his life fighting for recognition in a court that will never truly see him as an equal. Bitterness festers where loyalty once lived, and when a dark sorceress offers him the power he has always been denied, Herbosh is forced to confront a dangerous truth: perhaps the darkness within him was never something to fear… but something to embrace.

As a mysterious evil spreads across the land—twisting creatures, corrupting magic, and unraveling peace—Herbosh finds himself drawn deeper into a seductive alliance that promises not only power, but belonging. But power demands a price, and devotion to darkness requires sacrifice.

Torn between the brother who still believes in him and the woman who sees him for who he truly is, Herbosh must decide what he is willing to become.
