Seven decaying kingdoms. One ancient curse that threatens to destroy them all.
High in a secluded tower, Prince Sigismund lives in quiet exile. He is an outcast in his own kingdom-his black eyes feared as the harbinger of the ruin that has swept across the land. Alone and blamed, he watches the world from afar, haunted by a fate he never chose.
When his eighteenth birthday arrives, he knows he is out of time. Forced to make a daring escape from death or exile, he finds a world on the brink of war. On his perilous journey he meets others like him, and discovers their stories are bound by the same dark omen.
A heartbroken moondrake.
A valiant griffin.
A whimsical fairy.
All cursed with black eyes.
But as a cantankerous old wizard brings them all together to save the world from coming destruction, the Dragonking has other plans.
He wields the sinister Never-Was, a force that doesn't just hold the power to destroy life on Solarius-but to erase existence itself.
Now, only Prince Sigismund and his unlikely allies stand between existence and total annihilation.
