Book 2 of the Blackwater Shadows saga.
"... the key lies not in power but in understanding..."
The academy sleeps, but Adrien Valmont does not. Beneath spired rooftops and layers of political expectation, a deeper legacy pulses through iron-threaded leather and whispered prophecy. Haunted by Kaelen's silence and driven by an unraveling truth, Adrien unearths the Logistaria Umbrae: a forbidden tome alive with shadowed memories and volatile magic. What begins as a search for answers becomes a reckoning with history itself.
As spectral echoes from the shattered Balance Court claw their way into the present, Adrien finds himself tethered not only to Kaelen's burden, but to the name Thandrel, a Guardian erased by fear. The deeper he delves into cryptic passages and veiled corridors, the more Adrien questions whether he's studying prophecy... or becoming it.
Now, with distrust seeping through the academy's halls and ancient magic stirring beneath the Veil, Adrien must choose: expose the truth and risk unraveling everything, or protect Kaelen and bear the silence himself.
Because in Blackwater Shadows, the darkness doesn't just threaten from beyond... it waits within.
" Inheritance stands a gilded cage, where longing blooms in silent veins.
Transformation ascends, the only escape, cracking iron bars with wings of change.
Revelation lays the soul bare, emerging fierce once the mask is shed.
Defiance tempers love's steel blade, cleaving the storm to shape tomorrow's dawn.
Redemption dawns upon reborn fields, a covenant of hope in shadows healed. "

SNEAK PEAK: Aliss's gray eyes glanced at the Devious Queen standing beside her and next to the one impaled before her. Aliss realized then that she had made a mistake. She had always been a cautious person, constantly reading the situations in front of her and thinking of countless possibilities and outcomes. Maybe it was because of her confidence or maybe it was because of Naisis's magic but she found herself caught within the Lich Queen's web of illusions. Suddenly the illusion of Naisis twisted into Zhil. The once-cursed black blood turned red. Zhil struggled to keep himself upright, pawing at Aliss's arm to let go of her weapons. Aliss's eyes widened in shock, immediately making her let go. His body crumbled to the ground, twitching violently as he clawed at his throat to stop the blood from flowing. Several seconds passed and the blood-soaked gargle stopped and Zhil's body lay motionless. "Now you've gone and killed your precious Majesty too. Shame on you."Complete
Crown of Fury
*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.
Veil of Thorns ( Book 1 )
In a world split between light and shadow, humans live unaware of the Veil-a barrier that separates their world from one ruled by the Fae. For centuries, the Veil has held strong. But when Kaelin Duskthorn, heir to the Shadow Court, crosses it on a rogue mission to reclaim stolen fae magic, he doesn't expect a mere human to stand in his way. Arwen Vale, a half-human, half-fae raised in secret, unknowingly holds the key to a relic that could destroy both courts and collapse the Veil. She's sarcastic, guarded, and lives by rules she's made to survive the human world. Kaelin is cruel, calculating, and bound by a prophecy that claims his downfall will come from "a girl with blood between stars." Their paths cross violently-literally. Kaelin tries to kill her; she stabs him with a knife enchanted by his enemies. But their connection only deepens as fate, betrayal, and hidden desires begin to unravel the truth: they are bound by a forbidden soul-thread. As tensions rise between the Light and Shadow Courts, Arwen and Kaelin must navigate a war they didn't start, secrets they weren't meant to know, and an attraction that could ruin them both. Enemies by blood. Lovers by curse. And only one can survive the breaking of the Veil.Complete

"Hope is fragile. Trust even more so. But maybe, just maybe, we can learn both." Eleven years under King Valen's rule have left Silvania ruled by fear. Faith is forbidden, hope is scarce, and survival means looking the other way. Ian, the second prince and sole surviving heir, wields the power of water-but he has lost faith in hope, in people, and in bonds that once made him feel safe. Haunted by his family's massacre, he trusts no one... except Adrien Varon, Silvania's hero, who seeks to spark courage in a world suffocating under fear. When Adrien enlists Ian to quietly protect the people, their mission leads him to others caught in destiny's web: a girl desperate to prove herself to her family, a sharp and observant wind Elemental trying to stop her father's deadly inventions, and a fragile boy who bends time at the cost of his life. Together, they form an unlikely team-clumsy, untested, and often at odds. As the shadows of oppression grow long, only together can they learn to trust, to fight, and to ignite hope. Ian must decide, remain a shadow of himself... or become the Champion Silvania needs.
