Beneath The Shadows
Beneath the Shadows features Agent Elena Carter, a tougher than nails (and surprisingly human) secret agent whose past has been scarred by tragedy. Long ago, a billionaire scumbag decimated her family: Vincent Moretti-his crime empire cloaked in secrecy and pervasive rot of moral decay. Elena vowed revenge for her fallen loved ones, forced herself to be a woman who cannot break and wait until that moment she confronts the man that made her life miserable. However, as she delves deeper into Vincent's world, things take an unforeseen turn: she begins to glimpse aspects of him she never expected. Underneath that hard shell is a complex man with a dark past of his own. While their mistrust of each other gets muddled by a dark attraction that sends them spiraling into a tempestuous push and pull between revenge and lust. They must maneuver their way through a landscape where lies, betrayal and lethal power struggles are par for the course-and while Elena's instincts tell her that Vincent is up to something, will she still view him as an enemy, or will he prove worth the risk of trust? A tale of revenge that becomes one of redemption, Beneath the Shadows examines the blurred lines between love and hate-where a moment of weakness may be their destruction... or their deliverance.Complete

One year ago, Prythian suffered an attack at the hands of the necromancer, Melantha. She was ultimately defeated, but the marks of her terrible influence still remain in the memories and on the bodies of her victims. Wynter, Heir to the Winter Court, bears many of those marks. Unable to live with himself after what happened on the island Inmortui, Wynter chose to go into seclusion and face his lingering trauma alone. Regardless of his attempts to isolate himself, there are those who refuse to abandon him, no matter how badly he wishes they would. Elodie Rohese has carried a fondness towards Wynter since she first met him, just before he was kidnapped by Melantha. She refuses to leave him alone in his isolation, and instead, visits his home frequently, even though he never admits her. Despite her uncle's wrath and prejudices, Elodie continues to reach out to Wynter. When circumstances finally drive Wynter to answer her, they are both swept into a storm of unresolved trauma and unacknowledged romance. Together, they can weather the storm, but apart, it will only break them. Disclaimer: I do not own the ACOTAR series or the characters and places therein.
