In the lands to the north, they used to speak of wraiths; tall and
feathered with eyes framed by long tendrils, who’d walk the earth each
night with a lantern in hand to harvest the souls of the dead. Now their
stories have passed into legend, but there are some who still remember,
and some who covet the power of the unearthly light they wield.
In the present day, two kingdoms convene to instigate a rocky
alliance in the wake of the death of King Ekkehard, a brutal conqueror
who swept both nations into a decades-long conflict. Ekkehard’s bastard
Danny will do anything to see his brother Leon’s rise to the throne
succeed. When Danny’s network of spies uncover a plot to supersede
Leon’s authority, he must escape the palace to warn the king of the
danger. However, Danny’s mission is complicated by the discovery of a
strange creature, wounded and locked away in the palace’s underground
prison.
Meanwhile in the kingdom to the south, Princess Penelope receives
news that her brother Cyrus, the heir, has been caught in a deadly
landslide and needs immediate aid. But before she can set out to rescue
him she makes her own discovery in an abandoned tower above her sleeping
quarters.
Danny and Penelope must now set out on a journey to reach the border
between the two nations. But strange happenings seem to plague them at
every turn as if nature itself is being corrupted.
