In a kingdom where magic is outlawed, Kaelith Ravaryn is the last of the Shadowborn-a bloodline cursed with the power to control darkness itself. Raised in exile, she has spent years in hiding, training in secret under a rogue warrior known only as the Black Fang. When the tyrant king announces a deadly tournament-where warriors fight for the title of King's Blade, the highest rank in the royal guard-Kaelith sees her chance. Not for glory, but for revenge. The king was the one who ordered the slaughter of her family, and now she will bring his empire to its knees. But as Kaelith fights her way through the tournament, she discovers a secret buried beneath the castle-one that could change the fate of the entire world. The king is not the true ruler. A far older and darker force is pulling the strings, and it wants her power. With the fate of the kingdom at stake, Kaelith must decide: will she embrace the darkness within her, or will she forge her own destiny and become something greater than a warrior-a legend?
