Ten years ago, there was a battle, a curse, and a princess. It sounds like a fairy tale. It isn't. Still deep in her eversleep, powering the wards of the last fae sanctuary, Vlari has one adversary to fight: time. Time for the folk to gain the weapons they need to fight against the invaders. Each passing day, she's less likely to awaken. Drusk has ceased to hope she ever will, until something changes at the very core of Tenebris.
