A spectral war has torn the veils that separate life and death into pieces. Beings of the darkness slip through these rifts as armies of man wage a losing battle against the corporeal invaders.
Dane Tanderes was once a mortal man condemned to an unjust death, cursed to live as a fiend until such time as the gods decree him worthy of forgiveness. Now that he has escaped back to the world of the living he is determined to never again live in darkness. Dane is instrumental in the war against those he once called brethren, fighting to give his people a chance return to the light.
Vanlyn Sarn is the second son of a cruel lord. He lives a life of one of misery and degradation, despised by his brother and father for reasons known only to them. He is tasked by his father to journey deep into enemy territory and escort troops to aid in the fighting. However, Vanlyn knows the true nature of this mission. He is not expected to return.
When Dane takes Vanlyn prisoner, he plans to use the young prince as a pawn to seduce Vanlyn into betraying his kingdom and his people. But passion ignites red hot and Dane is torn between his burgeoning feelings for the young prince and doing what his honor demands. Which decision will lead him to what he desires most?

I'm very conflicted about this book. I wasn't impressed for a long stretch, and finally, when the two characters found themselves in danger and in need to fight to help their people, they really came to life and with them the world in which they were in.I didn't quite like Dane and Vanlyn. In books where sex is used as a mean to achieve a goal disregarding the feelings of the man who is seduced, I usually take sides with the weaker man, but inside I'm drawn to the stronger man. Here nothing of this happened to me. I really disliked Dane, because he often criticized behaviors that were his with regards of his relationship with Vanlyn. He achieved his goal with Vanlyn, and it was clear that it was a bittersweet victory, but I couldn't see his torn soul, the real regret of what he did. On the other hand, Vanlyn surrendered but his resistance didn't feel real. Now I'm probably contradicting myself, but even if there is a clear attraction between the two, so there was a reason for Vanlyn to give himself to Dane, he didn't do it with all his self-respect intact. So, what am I trying to say? That in the first half of the book, the two main characters in my opinion weren't strong enough.
The third quarter of the book was a bit weak, in my opinion. The love words were spoken but I had to wonder when it happened that the two fell in love. They told that they were in love, but there wasn't really something that conveyed their words. I also felt that all the dream-weaving wasn't really interesting. It created a few flashbacks that explained the past, but it was as if things were told again and again. The author decided to introduce the readers slowly to the characters' past, unveiling it layer by layer, but it didn't flow very smoothly with the rest of the book. It was like all the action had to stop to allow the recollection, and then it went forward again. And the two became too emotional and I thought they were both tougher than that.
The last quarter of the book was magnificent. All the world of magic really came to life, Vanlyn got hold of his powers and I was enthralled by his interaction with the animals. In the end, Vanlyn proved to be worthy of his rank as a prince and I was very happy with this, because he really seemed too flat at the beginning. I don't think Dane was as good, maybe because he also took a few dumb decisions, he didn't consult with anyone and he took decisions for Vanlyn, disrespecting him in a way.
I think the world building was great and I especially liked the bogies, these loyal and helpful creatures, perfectly balanced between the earthly world and the other world. There were a few editing issues, I think the book could benefit from a more thorough proofreading.
Despite these defects, it is often the last impression that decides my rating, therefore it's four stars for me.

Good flow and character introduction and development. I enjoyed the teasing and increased tension between Dane and Vanlyn presented early on. Tempo was excellent and the book kept me drawn in throughout. Well done.
