For a fleeting moment, I had magic. Powerful magic. But the Dark Prince's enemy stole it from me, making them the most powerful being in the world. Their primary goal is to destroy everything close to the Dark Prince, and that includes me. With the threat of a magicless world, the prince's life in danger, my loved ones at risk, and the impending destruction of the underworld, we're in for a hell of a fight. This time, however, my goals don't align with the prince's and he isn't my strongest ally. It turns out we're each other's greatest weakness.
