"I was born from the shadows. And one day, I will make them bleed."
Ruya was always different.
When no one was around, she spoke to shadows.
The shadows whispered back, breathing dark secrets into her ears.
She was a witch.
And now, she was more powerful than ever.
Her old friends from the past-the Sinners-had returned to destroy her.
But things didn't go as planned.
Because love got in the way.
A forbidden, passionate romance with one of the Sinners...
And there was one thing they didn't know:
Ruya was no ordinary girl.
She was a witch who drew her strength from the shadows.
And no one could stand against her.
