Shadow Heir

By Eric Wanner

A gripping medieval tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the family you choose.

In the shadowy divide between the gilded castle and the desperate streets, two lives collide, forcing them to confront the fragile bonds of trust and survival.

Addi, a sharp-witted thief, will do anything to protect her found family-a ragtag group of outcasts who have become her home. Markus, the disillusioned son of a powerful lord, longs to escape the suffocating politics of the court and find a place where he truly belongs.

When a ruthless crime lord threatens the fragile bonds of this chosen family, Addi and Markus must rely on their uneasy trust in each other. To save the people they care about, they must attempt the impossible: infiltrate the castle and steal from the king himself.

But the deeper they descend into conspiracy, the more Markus must choose between the cold duty of his bloodline and the fragile bonds of the family he never expected to find.

But as Markus becomes entangled in their world, his yearning for belonging clashes with the cold duty of his bloodline-and his choices may shatter the very family he yearns to protect.

Shadow Heir is a tale of class divides, dangerous gambits, and the search for belonging. Perfect for readers who love fast-paced stories of hidden identities, found families, and the moral dilemmas of loyalty and survival.
