A novel that 'cuts with a cinematic grace between wonderlands of historical fantasy, fairy tale, monsters and mythology...' (LH Review) and is 'both a powerful series addition and a readily accessible stand-alone read that draws readers into a king's mission and spins it into a story of rebirth, atonement, and redemption' (Midwest Book Review). Throughout history, there have always been those who task themselves with a mission to vanquish evil. None more so than those who would be seen as monsters themselves. Monsters who accept that the only way to conquer the darkness is to descend to the place where it was born, and meet it head-on.
