Gift of the Aluien — Summer Hanford

Tormented by dark dreams of death and rebirth, young Aridian serves an aging knight whose despondency leaves the kingdom without a hero when it needs one most. Evil is at work, pulling the crown prince down into madness and leeching away the life of his beautiful doomed fiancée. Will Aridian rally his master and realize his potential in time to save them, or will the grasping claws of evil claim the throne?
