In the shadows of a realm ruled by the enigmatic Shadow King, Lilith treads carefully-a pawn in a perilous game of power. She knows the cost of defiance all too well, yet she harbors a burning desire for autonomy. As long as she serves the inscrutable Shadow King, whose name dares not be spoken, she believes herself free-technically.

But when thrust into an alliance by marriage with Eldoria's king, Lilith sees a chance to turn the tide of war towards peace, even as the Shadow King's ambitions loom. Can she master her own desires and outmaneuver both kings to carve out her own destiny? In a realm where shadows hold secrets and whispers hold sway, Lilith must navigate a treacherous path, where her greatest adversary may just be the darkness within.
