“A Six of Crows ” and “Game of Thrones” had a baby, they’d name it “Regnum Noctis”!” Goodreads Reviewer
From Chapter 14.
“… “As a matter of fact, yes, my lady. It is called a commander’s oath. And the one who enforces it upon me, alongside my conscience, is the ruler of the North.”
A merciful lie. I have already broken my oath in the most disgraceful way imaginable, upon the grave of the Northern ruler’s ancestor, between his daughter’s legs. But I have nothing better to offer this woman.”
Between two kingdoms barely holding onto peace, something older than war is beginning to move. Meino Terren was sent north as a political offering. He became the commander of the royal guard instead, sworn to serve, sworn to obey, sworn to want nothing.
The princess is the one thing he cannot afford to want. Marked by a bloodline her own people distrust, she walks a line between power and exile, hiding what she is while trying to outrun what she feels.
They were not meant to break. But they were never meant to survive what’s coming either.
As a war for the throne turns the kingdom against itself, and the darkness beyond the night border begins to bleed into the living world, desire becomes a weakness and love, a liability.
Because when the night falls, it does not care who you were. Only what you are willing to become.
