As the runaway daughter of the tyrant King Rodden, a powerful nineteen-year-old witch Estrid lives a life of furtive exile. She will do anything to escape the iron-clawed grip of her father and his blood-soaked reign, even if it is her birthright.

But Estrid's solitude is fractured during a hunting trip in the Dark Forest, when she stumbles upon a wounded, ethereal being unlike any she's seen before. The Fae is golden-haired, rippling with power, and dressed in the finery of a wealthy lord. Even weakened and bleeding, he's the most beautiful-and deadliest-creature she's ever encountered.

But Estrid isn't the only one harboring a secret identity. The Fae's arrival could threaten the freedom she's fought so hard for and the kingdom she loves.

Forgiving Darkness is the first epic installment of the seductive dark fantasy romance duology, "Binary Souls."
