Young Alec of Kerry believes his life is about to end when he gets arrested for a crime he did not commit. His cellmate, however, was something he never anticipated. Seregil of Rhiminee is many things, none of them predictable: spy, rogue, thief, and noble. And things could never be the same for either of them once he agrees to train Alec as an apprentice. Alec soon finds himself on paths he was unaware of, heading toward a conflict he had no idea was coming. Soon after, he and Seregil find themselves entangled in a dark scheme that is larger than life and might end up costing them much more than just their lives if it fails. However, luck is as capricious as Alec's new tutor, and maybe this time there will be... Positivity in the Dark.
