The light of the city proper never reaches the under-city, past the jackal-headed guardians who keep the riffraff out.
No one goes to the under-city willingly. No one except Rion, scion of the Tahtali house.

But if he stays away, it may cost him a whole lot more.
A sweet romantic tale about the truest power in the world—love.
