In the kingdom of Kandala, a mysterious sickness spreads like wildfire, and only the wealthy can afford the life-saving Moonflower Elixir. The rest are left to suffer, their pleas ignored by those in power.

By night, Tessa Cade, a bold apothecary apprentice, risks everything by sneaking into the wilds to steal Moonflower petals. She crafts the precious elixir and distributes it to the sick and desperate, defying the unjust laws that favor the elite.

Meanwhile, Prince Corrick, known far and wide as the ruthless King's Justice, enforces order with an iron fist. His harsh punishments are meant to quell dissent and protect his brother's fragile reign from looming rebellions.

But when a cruel twist of fate brings Tessa face to face with Corrick, the lines between enemy and ally blur. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they must decide: destroy each other, or unite to save a kingdom on the brink of collapse.

As an unexpected bond ignites between them, secrets unravel and danger lurks in every shadow. Will they find a way to defy the night together, or will darkness consume them both?
