The shadowy realm of Kyrathia is home to Ash, a legendary figure known as the Owl Queen. Ash lives in a forest where the light dares not penetrate and time seems to stand still. She is an enigmatic observer, a silent sentinel who watches over the tumultuous events of the continent without interference.

The narrative follows Ash as she maintains her vigil from her darkened realm, observing the unfolding chaos of a civil war and the lives of those who wander into her domain. Her story is intertwined with the legends and whispers of Kyrathia, painting a portrait of a being who exists in the eternal twilight between light and darkness.

As Ash remains a haunting and elusive presence, her legend grows among the brave and the curious. The book delves into the themes of solitude, timelessness, and the interplay between the seen and the unseen, offering readers a glimpse into a world where shadows hold as much significance as the light.

In a realm where shadows whisper secrets and magic throbs beneath every step, Ash, a skilled huntress, becomes entangled in a destiny darker than she ever imagined.

One arrow, loosed from her bow, sets in motion a chain of events that plunges her into a deadly game of power, where each move could either crown her as queen or drag her into the abyss. In this world of deception, trust is a double-edged sword. The prince's true intentions remain cloaked in mystery, forcing Ash to decide who to trust as she teeters on the razor's edge between light and shadow. One wrong step, and the darkness will consume her.
