King of Shadows
For centuries, the world has feared the name of the King of Shadows-a ruler whispered about in legends as a merciless monster who commands darkness itself. But legends are built on lies.
When an ancient evil begins to awaken, Lyra Ashbourne is forced into the forbidden Shadow Realm, where she meets the mysterious king everyone believes to be the villain. Instead, she discovers a lonely guardian who has spent centuries sacrificing everything to protect a world that hates him.
As forgotten secrets come to light and the Shadow Crown's shattered power threatens to consume both realms, Lyra and Aurelian must face monsters, betrayals, and a darkness older than time itself. But saving the world will demand the ultimate sacrifice-and not everyone will survive.
In a world where darkness is feared and light cannot always be trusted, the greatest hero may be the one history remembers as its greatest monster.

To deny a fated bond is the ultimate cowardice, a betrayal of their most sacred law. The hunt for the mysterious, disgraceful mate begins.
