Three years after the battle that ended the Darklings reign over Ravka, privateer, and now King Nikolai is preparing to rule his country well. But the young king has a secret that only his closest friends and his commander Zoya Nazyelensky know about. During the battle, Nikolai was infected with some of the Darkling's power and became half man and half shadow monster. While it is day time, Nikolai seems like just an ordinary king, but when night falls and he sleeps, the monster in his heart takes over and turns him into a beast with a taste for blood. Without the aid of his friends, Nikolai may have been left to destroy many homes and families when he transformed, but Zoya chained him to his bed for safety and gave him a sleeping draft made by Genya Safin. But the beast continues to grow stronger and Nikolai has a harder time coming back to his usual self after he transforms. Can the new king of Ravka purge himself of the demon or will he be doomed to kill all he ever loved? Read the book to find out!
