They told her the prophecy meant she would destroy the city.
They never mentioned the shadow that would choose her first.
§§
Hidden beneath storm-wracked skies and encircled by barren land, the city of Vecarus stands as the last wards against annihilation. Built on ancient magic and buried secrets, it is a place where power is both a blessing and a curse-and where destiny rarely shows mercy.
Reece Sinclaire has always been marked by the storm. Lightning answers her call, chaos coils in her wake, and whispers follow her every step, warning that her power may one day destroy the very city she used to call home.
The child of rebellion bows to no king, her hands destroy-not merely just break.
Kieran Centari,a wielder of living shadow, knows what it means to be feared. His darkness obeys no one, least of all him, and the king of Vecarus keeps him close for reasons far more sinister than loyalty. With more questions then answers will he chose truth over the blind devotion he's sworn to partake.
As monstrous magic stirs beyond the wards and long-dormant truths of the throne resurface to light Vecarus's fragile balance begins to fracture. A fractured prophecy resurfaces, twisted by time and lies, foretelling ruin at the hands of a stormbringer... and salvation bound to shadow.
Forced into an alliance neither trusts, Reece and Kieran must navigate betrayal, forbidden magic, and a bond that burns as fiercely as it terrifies them. Because the truth the king has hidden may be deadlier than the barren lands itself-and if storm and shadow cannot unite, life as we know it will cease to exist and even the strongest shall fall in its wake.
