Wings of Shadow and Prophecy

By Bernadette Rowley

A princess born to rule. A queen determined to shape her daughter's destiny. A prophecy powerful enough to unravel the future.

Princess Iona Zialni has never fit neatly inside the life chosen for her. Fierce, gifted, and carrying the rare shape-shifting magic of her Defender father, she longs for a path that is truly her own. But duty presses in from all sides, and the crown she never wanted looms ever closer.

When a harsh punishment forces Iona into confinement, she turns her focus inward-toward the elusive third form she believes lies dormant within her. Yet the Queen's demand that she consider an unwanted marriage becomes the breaking point. Iona refuses to surrender her future.

With a handful of loyal friends, she escapes the royal keep and sets out across Thorius in search of the mentor who once guided her father. But their journey quickly veers into dangerous territory, where magic bends, timelines shift, and a shadowed prophecy whispers of a fate far greater-and far more perilous-than any she imagined.

Wings of Shadow and Prophecy launches The Shadow Wing Quest Trilogy, a sweeping fantasy adventure filled with strong heroines, magical intrigue, and mythical creatures. Perfect for readers who loved the Queenmakers Saga and are ready to soar into a new epic tale of courage, destiny, and transformation.
