Shadowed Hearts and Secrets

By: Carucci, T. M.

ONE WANTS TO SAVE HER. ANOTHER WANTS TO CLAIM HER. AND THE DARKNESS INSIDE HER WANTS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY.

Princess Ravenna Rosewyn has spent five years hunting demons in the Nothingness Forest, the cursed ground separating her kingdom from what remains of the Everlight Realms. It was punishment-her father's way of beating obedience into her after she refused to marry.

Now, he's chosen a suitor for her: the infamous King Alaric, the vampire ruler of the Nivalis Requiem Summit and the man behind centuries of bloodshed. Four of the seven Everlight Realms have already fallen to war. An alliance through Ravenna may be the only way to stop the next one.

But something else is happening to her. Shadows twist when she looks away. Her reflection whispers back. And a voice has begun to grow louder in her head-one that doesn't sound entirely her own.

Codrin Hardtblade, captain of the Royal Slayer Squad and Ravenna's secret love, has his own past buried in blood and silence. As Ravenna begins to uncover the truths, he never told her, trust fractures-and Alaric becomes the only one who seems to understand her unraveling mind.

Torn between duty and desire, reality and illusion, Ravenna must choose who to believe... before the darkness inside her chooses for her.
