Like Auralia's Colors, Cyndere's Midnight is a fantasy novel with a lyrical voice, this time rooted in fairy tale and exploring themes of ethical compromise, loving one's enemy, and compassion. Continuing the story of The Expanse, four kingdoms introduced in Auralia's Colors, Cyndere's Midnight will appeal to fantasy readers age fourteen and up.

In the second book in the Auralia Thread series, the power of Auralia's colors brings together a bloodthirsty beastman and a grieving widow in a most unlikely relationship, one that not only will change their lives, but could also impact the four kingdoms of The Expanse forever.

Jordam is one of four ferocious brothers from the clan of cursed beastmen. But he is unique- The glory of Auralia's colors has enchanted him, awakening a noble conscience that clashes with his vicious appetites.

Cyndere, heiress to a great ruling house, and her husband Deuneroi share a dream of helping the beastmen. But when Deuneroi is killed by the very people he sought to help, Cyndere risks her life and reputation to reach out to Jordam. Beside a mysterious well--an apparent source of Auralia's colors--a beauty and a beast form a cautious bond. Will Jordam be overcome by the dark impulse of his curse, or stand against his brothers to defend House Abascar's survivors from a deadly assault?
