Shadow and Stone
Rachel Addams has always lived between two forces: the quiet pull of the stars above her and the ancient power of stone and shadow beneath her skin. The younger sister of Wednesday Addams, Rachel is nothing like the infamous Nevermore prodigy-softer, quieter, and far more dangerous than she lets on. Like Rachel Roth, her powers are tied to darkness, but Rachel's magic answers to the earth itself: stone bends, shadows listen, and silence obeys.

Transferred to Nevermore Academy, Rachel keeps to the edges-watching the constellations from the rooftop, hiding the true depth of her abilities, and existing comfortably in solitude. Until she meets Ajax.

Ajax is awkward, artistic, and painfully sincere-everything Rachel isn't supposed to want. What begins as an unlikely friendship built in pottery rooms, detention halls, and late-night stargazing slowly deepens into something fragile and dangerous. As threats rise within Nevermore and Rachel's powers strain against her control, she must decide whether closeness is a weakness... or her greatest strength.

Told through a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance, Shadow and Stone is a supernatural story of restraint and yearning, power and patience, love grown quietly in the space between darkness and earth-where even the coldest shadows can learn to soften, and stone can learn to hold instead of break.
