THE BALANCE HAS TIPPED... Jackson Taeric's life in a quiet, snowbound town was dull and ordinary-until the day he stumbled through a hidden gateway into a world at war.
Two kingdoms that had coexisted for centuries now fight for survival. The Night, a mysterious and ruthless people, launched a sudden and seemingly unprovoked assault against the Eternai, shattering the age of peace.
Thrown into the heart of chaos, Jackson must choose a side. The Eternai welcome him as an ally, promising that fighting the invaders is fighting for freedom-and the young king's glory-but every choice carries consequences. Ancient secrets stir in the dark, and prophecy warns his decisions could bring the fall of an empire... or the rise of an unbreakable reign.
