Grim: Dueling Crowns Edition

Grimshaw Malvere never chose to be a monster. His father is cruel and raises him as a killing machine, and from a young age Grim learns to bury every feeling: grief, guilt and, most of all, love.

When the curses are cast, Nightshade is thrown into turmoil. Grim makes the survival of his realm his mission. Then Isla appears inside his castle, and he meets something that proves stronger than the pain he has trained himself to carry.

The story is told from Grim's point of view. It is a companion to the Lightlark books, and it fills in his past: the motivations and events that set him on the path to becoming Isla's eventual love interest.

This is the Dueling Crowns paperback edition. It has a new cover design, four pages of full-color illustrations and illustrated sprayed edges. Placed beside the matching edition of ORO, the edges of the two books form one continuous pattern.

The book follows a character who has been taught that feeling is a weakness, and asks what happens when someone arrives who he cannot push away.
