*Book 2 of The Shadowmarked Legacy* As Eryndor rebuilds under the rule of its new queen Selene begins her most personal dangerous mission yet-finding a way to free Kaelen from the realm of in-between where he is trapped, paying the dark debt of his magic. But the search for answers leads her into the shadowed depths of forbidden magic, where each step threatens to unravel her own soul. Old prophecies hint at a costly solution, but Selene is willing to face any consequence to bring Kaelen back. Meanwhile, word of Eryndor's new queen-one with no direct royal bloodline-has reached the neighboring kingdom of Alneth, where a ruthless ruler sees this as an opportunity to seize Eryndor for himself. As political intrigue and the looming threat of war grow, Selene finds herself pulled between her loyalty to Eryndor, her duty to the council, and her need to save Kaelen. But her heart is far from settled. With Kaelen caught in the veil between life and death, her bond with Taren has deepened in ways she never expected. As she fights to free Kaelen, she is forced to confront her growing feelings for both men-Kaelen, her mentor who sacrificed everything, and Taren, her childhood sweetheart.
