A woman made of light. A general sworn to destroy the dark. A love that could save the world – or end it.
Aria was once immortal, but tricked by a dark queen and stripped of her light, she wakes in the mortal realm with shadow magic in her veins and a corruption that spreads with every heartbeat. Her only hope: four fragments of a shattered divine heart, scattered across a world on the brink of war.
But gathering the Shadowstones means using the very magic that could destroy her.
General Rook and his Fadeguard exist to destroy. But the woman fighting at his side makes him question every oath he’s ever sworn. As duty and desire collide, they must cross hostile kingdoms, face an immortal queen consumed by grief, and confront the impossible truth – that the bond between them may be the only force powerful enough to heal what was broken.
The Heart of Shadow is an epic fantasy about what love costs, what grief destroys, and what remains when you choose to hold onto both.
