The Dark Castle is a reminder to all who come close: Don't mess with Queen Slindra. In the land of Drion, the Moon Queen reigns over the west, casting her icy grip on every heart in the fairy world. Roland is her adopted child. Twenty and handsome, he enjoys passing through the human world gate and seducing young women. Jessica is his latest conquest—a goth groupie he meets at a bar—but she piques his interest more than he intends. Jessica askes Roland to meet him at a house party. While there, he senses a light fairy, beings that are barely endured on Drion. Jessica introduces Kate as her best friend. Roland knows what Kate is, but her mother has hidden the truth behind her identity. Their collision leads Roland away from his mother's tyranny and Kate fleeing to a new reality at the White Nights Stronghold. There she will find a place filled with magic, intrigue, and secrets. Whatever challenges await them both, Kate and Roland will never be the same.
