Prince Jarrod and his men have been missing for months and still Merrilyn has no idea where they are hidden. Now the king of Zinder is missing, too, and his children seem to think Merrilyn's the key to finding him. Along with Aiden and Prince Justan, she travels to Zinder looking for clues in the king's journals. When a mysterious man begins whispering in her dreams, tempting her to reconsider all that she believes, she must face both her fears and her desires.

Her long journey has taken her from the tiny village she's always known out into wild and incredible lands, convincing her that the world is a much bigger and brighter place than she ever imagined. But all of that won't keep away the darkness that is spreading within her own heart.When Keardun returns, threatening to destroy everything she loves, Merrilyn decides to face her enemy again, this time by surrendering. She'll face death, darkness, fear, and fire, but she won't sit back and watch him tear her world apart. Racing north to the Borderlands, she must get to the place "untouched by light" before the winter solstice. With the help of new allies and old friends, Merrilyn will cross through the darkest parts of the world and face new enemies determined to stop her. But without The Light to guide her, the only way to survive will be to find the light within. The Light Within is the third book in The Light Series.
