Saireya Vale never asked to be chosen.
Drafted into the elite and brutal Umbra War College, she hides a deadly secret-one that could get her executed before her first lesson: the Shadowmark, a cursed symbol tied to a lost prophecy and a forgotten queen.
At Umbra, magic is weaponized, loyalty is earned through blood, and the weak don't survive. But when she meets Kael Draven-the cold, feared war prodigy whispered to be the Endbringer-Saireya's shadow begins to stir.
Their connection is forbidden. Their bond is dangerous. And as the prophecy awakens, one truth becomes clear:
She was never meant to save the world. She was meant to end it.
A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy with curses, prophecy, dark magic, and heart-shattering choices.
Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Serpent & Dove.
