Daughter of a nobleman. Renegade. Defender of innocents. When a rash of disappearances strikes Elsbeth's kingdom, she seeks to rescue the missing children at any cost. Even if that means striking out on her own and hiring a dangerous seafarer to help her. Benjamin, a cocky young captain, will take most any job to run away from the past. But when his past and Elsbeth's present collide, he struggles with the consequences. When Elsbeth and Benjamin realize their battle is against a perilous stronghold, they realize success will take more than they've bargained. To conquer darkness takes sacrifice. Selflessness. A willingness to lay down one's life. Will the Lutetia Light make it to shore?
