Love Lies Bleeding

Elissa has returned to her love in the Land of Eternal Night, ready to battle the Darkness. With her, she has brought the first dawn in hundreds of years. In the time they were apart, Aurelian enchanted himself into a years-long stupor, so that the curse could not take root in him. Without a host, it has weakened, and now, as daylight grows, rebellions against the Dark Order are taking place across the land. The daughters of Dracontyte, once slaves freed by Lady Elissa, are leading the army prophesied to fight the Battle of All Battles. They are ready to pledge their fealty to her as the Kaima Dahem ("The Pure Heart Rises"), but are hesitant to accept the Amar, who they believe might still bear the Darkness. They may not be wrong. In order to save their worlds, this band, known as the Light Bringers, must put aside their differences and go on a journey that spans planets. Elissa and Aurelian are destined to defeat the Darkness - but what if he's already accepted it?
