A USA Today and B&N bestseller don't miss this tale of star-crossed lovers in a world full of
magic mystery and betrayal. 'The brightest star needs the darkest night.' In a world
abandoned by its celestial guardians and left to suffer a tyrant king's reign all Astraea can
recall are the fragmented memories of the past five years. She's determined to discover more
about her past even if that means leaving behind the only safety and security she has ever
known by venturing out into a world where bloodthirsty vampires are rumoured to roam. Making
her way in an unfamiliar world she encounters the mysterious Nyte who makes her an offer she
cannot refuse. As Astraea accepts Nyte's help she is drawn in by his darkness and she begins
to wonder if she has struck a deal with one of the ruthless beings her people have always
feared. Astraea's opportunity to escape this deal presents itself when she has to decide
whether to take her friend's place in centenary celebrations of the Libertatem - a succession
of trials hosted by the king in which the five human lands compete for safety against vampires
