My entire life, I’ve feared the Darkwings. Shadow-wielding monsters with red eyes who flay the skin from the bones of any magical being that dare cross their path. A story Lightlace witches told to their children to ensure they didn't stray. Be good, or the Darkwing will steal your magic. But that’s all it was. A nightmare. A legend. Until I meet him. Vane. Born in darkness, enshrouded by shadows. He is on the hunt, searching for something that could alter the very fabric of my family’s magic. If I was smart, I would run in the other direction. But I was born in darkness too. Under a solar eclipse, robbing me of the Lightlace magic I so desperately wished I had. The magic my family punishes me for not possessing. Darkness is something I’ve become accustomed to, calling to me like an old friend, but if I’m not careful, I could vanish in Vane’s shadows forever. The Darkwings are real, and I may have just found the most dangerous one of them all.
