With wings of midnight and an affinity for shadows, Jason courts darkness. But now, with the archangel Neha's consort lying murdered in the jewel-studded palace that was his prison -- and her rage threatening cataclysmic devastation -- Jason steps into the light, knowing he must unearth the murderer before it is too late. Earning Neha's trust comes at a price -- Jason must tie himself to her bloodline through the princess Mahiya, a woman with secrets so dangerous, she trusts no one. Least of all an enemy spymaster.
