A Daughter of Light and Shadow

In the aftermath of betrayal, war, and bloodshed, Thyra's world begins to unravel in ways she never imagined.

The darkness stalking Carinia is no longer a distant whisper in forgotten legends-it is waking. Villages burn beneath corrupted shadows, rebellion spreads through the outer settlements, and the fragile peace between the six regions threatens to collapse entirely. At the center of it all stands Thyra: a girl raised human, carrying a power she does not understand and a past deliberately hidden from her.

As her connection to the ancient darkness deepens, terrifying truths begin to surface. The feared Outlyer is not merely a monster born from ruin, but a forgotten king whose name was erased from history itself. And somehow, Thyra is tied to him in ways that could either save Carinia... or destroy it.

Kaelith, the ruthless Fae King known across the realm as the Butcher King, will burn kingdoms before he allows Thyra to fall. But as enemies close in and the darkness twists itself around her soul, even he may not be enough to protect her from what she is becoming.

Bound by fate, hunted by corrupted forces, and torn between light and shadow, Thyra must uncover the truth of her origins before the darkness claims everything she loves.

Because some monsters are created by grief.

And some daughters are born from both light and darkness.
