When the Shadow King's army burns Lyra's village to the ground, she expects to die.
Instead, she's taken to his fortress-a palace where the shadows move, where courtiers disappear without explanation, and where King Kael Ashveil rules with a cold, iron fist and eyes that look like they haven't seen warmth in a century.
She's brought as a tribute. A bargaining chip. Nothing more.
But Lyra has a secret she doesn't even know about-a power that flares to life the moment Kael's cursed shadow magic touches her. And he notices.
The bargain he offers is simple: Stay. Help him break the curse that is slowly consuming him into darkness. In return, he'll free her people.
It should be easy to hate him.
It isn't.
