A soul-crushing darkness.
A long-lost legend.
A brother and sister who must gamble everything on a prophecy-or a lie.
Rioyn Orro will soon turn eighteen and join the Order of Soldiers. Gifted and courageous, everyone knows he'll be one of the greatest soldiers to train at Sansyre University-everyone except his father. In response to his rebellious antics, General Orro forbids his son from entering the annual tournament, forcing Rioyn to secretly defy him.
Rioyn's twin, Ayva, is used to covering for her brother's intrigues, but his latest ploy leaves her reeling. She might be a wallflower but Ayva harbors secrets of her own, like the inconvenient flutter of her heart when Jax enters the room. He's popular, gorgeous...and her brother's best friend.
At the annual Festival of Seivan, Rioyn and Ayva prepare to compete in their respective tournaments, unaware of the nightmare about to descend: The Starless Army is on the move, driven by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, and its first strike will hit right at the heart of the Orro family.
An ancient legend might offer a glimmer of hope-or send Rioyn and Ayva down a path of betrayal and despair. It's said that a hero exists who's capable of defeating the darkness, but only if the twins can find them.
