After partly avenging her mother's death, Evette Star, the illegitimate daughter of an elven king, sets off on a warpath to find the adversary of her people. The human King in the West, Dracul Dregoth, has locked himself away in a stone tower for reasons unbeknownst to those who fear him. His reign has blanketed the land in darkness, and while Evette knows little about the man, she intends to make him pay for the deeds done by those who have obeyed his relayed orders. She will bring him to justice, even if it means uncovering hidden secrets that will force her to question if all of her efforts were really worth the trouble. She will have to learn the hard way that self-love and self-acceptance are more important than the love of others. Werewolves, dragons, and undead spirits may keep her from reaching her destination on time, but her need for fiery vengeance will be sated. Of Shadow and Death is the first book in the Shadow Of Wisdom series. No one is truly trustworthy. No one is safe. Few will survive the truth, and even fewer will live happily ever after. ___________________________________ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Of Shadow and Death is art. This book is a page turner.

Too nervous?" He sent a smirk my way, hinting to his previous statement. His comment sparked my stubborn side which only added to my desire. With a small intake of air I sat down on his lap. "No." I met his eyes. My answer was clearly a lie and he knew it. "Really?" He dared. I went to reply but then his hand landed on my neck, cupping it with just enough pressure to probably leave a red mark. It made my stomach clench. I lost all train of thought the second he did it. He hummed at my lack of response. His grip on my neck relaxed slightly but he didn't let go. His eyes dropped to my lips and I remembered what it felt like when he kissed me. They tingled with anticipation. He pulled me down closer to him so that my mouth was nearly on his. "Kiss me." He ordered lowly.

"Her hazel eyes, wide with fear, avoided meeting mine. Her body trembled in delicate, and broken shivers. The curves of her face were hauntingly beautiful, innocence etched into every inch. Her skin was a milky white, smooth except for tiny crisscrosses of scars. I was transfixed. But the sight of her was only a temporary diversion from the torment within. The pulse of her blood was visible in the delicate curve of her neck. My mouth felt heavy on my jaw and as I stepped forward, her pulse quickened." In the Kingdom of Qemond, Sebastian, the enigmatic Vampire King, finds himself entangled in a web of desire and mystery. A chance encounter with a seemingly ordinary human named Elowen unravels a captivating tale of addiction, power, and a blood bond that defies the very fabric of his understanding. Elowen's blood possesses an inexplicable hold over Sebastian, and it thrusts him into a relentless pursuit of answers. As he grapples with the mysteries of her existence, the kingdom teeters on the brink of war, and Sebastian faces challenges that pale in comparison to the internal turmoil ignited by his connection to the weak human he cannot let go of. Will Sebastian untangle the questions of Elowen's blood, or will the intoxicating allure of her existence forever alter the course of his immortal life?
