Prince of Shadows

One woman. Two predators. And a choice that leads to ruin.

Layla was a ghost in the Royal Archives, a woman of logic, ink, and carefully guarded secrets. She thought she was safe behind her ledgers until the Shadow Prince decided he needed a new toy.

Now, she is a prisoner of the road, caught between a Prince who wants to unmake her and a Captain who promises to be her shield-at a price she isn't sure she can pay.

As the shadows at the border grow restless, the war isn't just happening in the mist. It's happening in the dark of the night, in the heat of a shared saddle, and in the silence of an isolated inn.

One wants to own her. The other wants to protect her. But in a world of monsters and mandates, there is no such thing as safety.

Logic won't save her.

The Crown won't protect her.

And the shadows? They're only just beginning to feed.
