Beschreibung

With Russian, English and Irish blood in her veins and described by her uncle Sir Terence O’Kerry, Head of the India Office, as ‘as mysterious as the Sphinx, but as lovely as Cleopatra must have been at that age’, it is no surprise that the beautiful young Quenella O’Kerry has suitors continually falling at her feet. The trouble is that among them is the lecherous Prince Ferdinand of Schertzenberg, who not only has pursued her relentlessly but has even attempted to force himself on her in her bedroom!It seems the only way for Quenella to escape the Prince’s clutches is a marriage of convenience and to leave England for some time.. And this is just what the dashing Major Rex Daviot requires if he is to accept the huge promotion offered to him by Queen Victoria to become the Lieutenant-Governor of India’s North-West Provinces, when India is under British rule.The prospect of a loveless marriage depresses Rex, who enjoys the attentions of many a Society beauty, but even as they journey to India, Quenella’s curiosity, intelligence and loveliness piques his interest. And very soon, despite himself, Rex finds that his marriage of convenience blossoms into something far, far deeper.

    Step into a realm where light and shadow do more than collide—they writhe, twist, and wage war like two primordial forces battling for dominion over creation itself. From the forgotten depths of the world, an ancient power long sealed in the age of chaos stirs awake once more, sending tremors through proud empires and shattering prophecies once thought eternal.This sweeping epic will carry you across kingdoms on the brink of ruin, where thrones crack beneath the weight of ambition; into cursed sanctuaries where forbidden sorcery whispers in the language of darkness; and through lands torn apart by time, where myths still breathe in the wind and the past is never truly dead.As omens of catastrophe spread like wildfire, a new legend slowly takes shape—woven from the intertwined destinies of souls who were never meant to meet. Amid war, betrayal, and secrets powerful enough to fracture the heavens themselves, they are bound by a fate both glorious and terrifying.And when the final light falters and the sky prepares to be devoured by shadow, it is this invisible bond that will decide the future of every world—whether it will blaze with rebirth or be forever consumed by an eternal night.An expansive, atmospheric tale of magic, peril, and prophecy—crafted to ignite your imagination and pull you into a cosmic struggle between forces beyond mortal comprehension.
