Cloaked in Shadows

Born of light and darkness, he must choose which side to embrace-or lose everything he holds dear.

Eighteen-year-old Lucian Saintord has spent his life shrouded in whispers and suspicion. As the head of his noble house, he's expected to marry, protect his family, and maintain the fragile legacy of House Saintord. But Lucian hides a secret that even the boldest nobles dare not speak aloud: the dark powers coursing through his veins are a gift from his true father, the Shadow King.

When shadow creatures begin breaching the borders of his realm, Lucian's secret is exposed, and he's cast out by the very society he sought to protect. Forced to ally with Vivienne Arkwright, a fierce knight of the Shadow King, Lucian embarks on a journey into the Shadowlands-a realm of chaos and danger-to uncover the truth behind the growing attacks.

As tensions between the Shadowlands and the human world rise, Lucian must grapple with his identity, the weight of his mother's tragic legacy, and the undeniable pull of his father's dark throne. But the balance between the realms demands sacrifice, and Lucian must decide: will he fight for the light that rejects him or embrace the darkness that calls him home?

In a world where chaos is balance and peace is a lie, Lucian's choice will determine the fate of two realms-and his own soul.
