Her destiny was written in darkness.
In a world where shadows breathe, whisper, and kill, Nyra Valoch has spent her life hiding from the power coiled beneath her skin. But when an ancient god awakens and the veil between realms begins to tear, her dormant magic erupts-marking her as the prophesied Shadow Queen, a ruler destined either to save her realm or drown it in eternal night.
Hunted by kingdoms, worshipped by monsters, Nyra is forced into an uneasy alliance with Cyrus Draven and Kael, brooding warriors bound to the very shadows she commands. Their past is carved in blood and betrayal, and their allegiance shifts like smoke. Yet the deeper their journey pulls them into forbidden lands and forgotten myths, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them-dangerous, forbidden, and inevitable.
As gods rise, empires crumble, and the darkness inside her hungers for release, Nyra must choose:
embrace the monster she fears... or become the queen her world needs.
But every shadow has a price.
And the war for her crown has already begun.
