Does revenge really solve anything? Or does it only provoke more violence? As a sinister organization begins to rise up from the deep shadows led by an enigmatic figure dubbed the Caput, chaos and suffering erupt across the entire continent of Iuvenis.

 

In the meantime, two forces wage war within Eleonora as she finds herself stuck between her ever-growing fondness for the king and the peculiar primal attraction she’s developed for the queen. Will she devour the queen of Anglia, letting her primal animal instinct win, or will she manage to maintain a grasp on her humanity through her budding connection with the king?

 

Luca, while worried for his sister’s mental state, finds himself distracted by his own issues. His attraction to Bradley Blackwood only grows after a night of passion. Can he resist the call that selfishly pulls him towards the man who would only bring pain to his people? Or can he hold steady and secure a powerful ally to fortify his kingdom?

 

Meanwhile, the king of Anglia, Albert Blackwood, finds himself sinking into the quicksand of anger and revenge, uncovering a betrayal so horrible it threatens to compromise the just ruler he has asserted to be. In this war, all Albert has is a friend who, he suspects, conceals a great secret, and a foreign woman with a cryptic past. Can Albert keep true to his morals or will the curse that plagued Blackwood kings before him bring about his ruin while his treacherous uncle gains strength?

 

In a sweeping tale filled with twist after twist and turn after turn, one thing is certain: in order to survive, Luca and Eleonora need Albert Blackwood and Albert Blackwood needs Luca and Eleonora. But who is the new personage making a debut amidst the menagerie of light and dark?
