Betrayed, heartbroken, and left behind.

Grace is left reeling after the botched peace attempt, her mind as shattered as her heart. The four dangerous, enigmatic men shed grown to trust have forsaken her, depriving her of the one thing they have promised. Safety. Broken and battered, she has no choice but to fall on her own spade, allowing Douglas to swoop in and take her back home. Erik King promised he would keep her safe, and she has been foolish enough to believe him. Now she doesnt know who to trust. Certainly not her brother, whose sharp change in personality leaves her questioning whats real and what isnt.

With no one to turn to and nowhere to run, Grace and her light are all alone—easy prey for the monsters lurking nearby.

Erik is a King without a throne, but all that is about to change. His fathers grip on the city is loosening, and he sees his chance to strike. Armed with an unnatural amount of luck, he is ready to take control of the family business, with the help of his loyal friends. Jesse, his right-hand man, keeps his ego in check. Levy, his constant reminder of what they hope to achieve. Anders, the caustic thorn in his side that forces him to stay ruthless. Part of his plan hinges on one person in particular　the daughter of his fathers business associate, who is a pawn in her own familys games. Erik steals Grace away from under her brothers nose, expecting to have captured a weapon that will help with their rebellion.

Grace, however, is no weapon. As it turns out, shes no ones pawn either. Her presence in their lives throws their dynamic off balance, and forces Erik to shift his focus. Is Grace the missing key that will help them wrestle power from the men holding their city hostage? Or is she the catalyst that will bring about their ruin?

Will Eriks luck be enough to keep them all safe? Because the monsters who play in the light are far more terrifying than the ones hiding in the darkness.
