A deluxe paperback edition of Oro’s story from #1 New York Times bestselling author and #BookTok sensation Alex Aster, featuring stunning illustrated sprayed edges and a full-color art insert

True love knows no bounds.

Oro Rey was never meant to be king. As the second-born son with a rare and dangerous ability, his upbringing was an endless winter of training and control. When his entire family perishes and the realms are cursed, suddenly the people of Lightlark are his responsibility—and he will do whatever it takes to protect them.

Then Oro meets Isla, the person who turns his winter into summer, and she changes everything…

Told from Oro’s perspective, this Lightlark companion book offers a window into his complex identity: that of a king torn between a desire for justice and passion for the woman he loves more than anything. 

This paperback edition boasts a suite of deluxe features:
-Brand-new cover design
-Four pages of full-color illustrations
-Full-color illustrated sprayed edges
