As they drove back to the mansion, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this was just the beginning of a far more complicated story. And he was right. She certainly would meet Sheryl and this so-called queen of the modeling world tomorrow.

Someone close to the Queen has betrayed us. Day 12: Three more clan members fell ill today. The shadow poison works slowly but it's effective. We're running out of time to find the traitor. Day 23: The Queen ordered us to investigate everyone with access to the royal quarters. We suspect someone codenamed "Black Moon" but we have no proof. "Keep reading," Killian said quietly. Day 35: Black Moon struck again. Four of our best warriors dead, their bodies found drained of all life force. The Queen is preparing for war but she's too weak to fight. The shadow infection has reached her heart.

Esmeray was trapped inside a coffin. "Help! Help! I can't breathe in here!", she screamed. But nobody dared to open the coffin. Afterall, they didn't want to go against the Lore king, as she was his sacrificial bride. If there weren't any holes in tue coffin, she would have been dead, long gone. Finally they arrived at the palace of Maleficium. The Lore king was sitting on his chair, with legs crossed and waiting for his sacrificial bride. The people left the coffin there and rushed out, as soon as they were done. If they had looked into his eyes, they would have turned to stone. The Lore king came slowly to the coffin and opened it. Esmeray took in a deep breath, she was finally able to bre

Clearly, this woman was casting a spell on me. “What’s the word on that coffee?” I asked her, smiling. “I’m taking a shower and enjoying coffee on the patio. What do you say?” “No! I want to drink coffee in bed naked, sitting around telling stories.” He stared at me. It was like he wanted to read something on my face. Maybe it was something she didn’t understand about me any more than I did. I had some strange feeling that had invaded my body from the moment she tended my wounds. What spell she had used then, I don’t know, but I could tell it was something new. Something I didn’t know how to handle.

The stars were cold and distant, but somewhere beneath their light, shadows moved with silent intent. The question gnawed at him—Who among us hides a knife behind their back? And the answer, when it came, would change everything. The hunt tightens. The shadows grow deeper. Who will survive the coming storm—and who will fall?

For a heartbeat, her own voice broke through, weak, desperate. “Kael, don’t let it” Then the shadow took hold again. Her body convulsed once, violently, before slamming both palms down on the table. The crystal exploded into shards of light that streaked into the walls like veins of lightning. The torches flickered out. Kael moved without thinking, snatching the Queen’s sword from its stand and stepping between her and the spreading shadow that bled across the stone. The air was colder now. Not the cold of night, but of something ancient, crawling back into the world it had been banished from.

The bond with his mate was slowly breaking as she faded away in his arms. With tears in his eyes, the king lowered one of his hands to the queen's still-swollen belly. “Little one...” he tried to say. However, just as the king was about to say something else, the shadows suddenly began to scream with a roar that caused all the members of the kingdom to fall to the ground, covering their ears. The king quickly fell to the ground, feeling as if his head was about to explode. Everyone's vision became blurry as the shadows exploded, spreading a black, viscous liquid.

His scent—woodsmoke and metal—wrapped around me, strangely comforting. “I believe he’s alive,” Alaric admitted, voice low and rough. “But not untouched.” “What does that mean?” Alaric’s jaw tightened. “Shadow magic.” I swallowed hard. The same shadow I’d read about in Max’s book. “The Queen looked...” I trailed off. “Happy. Scared. Both.” “She’s the Queen.” His voice darkened. “She’s allowed her masks. But she sent me a message already.” “What message?” “She wants us both in the council meeting tomorrow morning.”

Book 2: Crown of Shadows Chapter 1: The Departure The carriage door closed with finality that echoed through her chest like a death knell. Through crystal-clear windows enhanced with court magic far beyond territorial capabilities, she watched Shadoweave's spires fade into pre-dawn mist. Each familiar landmark disappeared with the inexorable permanence of choices that couldn't be unmade.

"They believe in balance through darkness. That light and shadow must exist in equal measure. And they recruit powerful individuals to maintain that balance." "By tricking them into blood oaths?" "By offering them something they desperately need. Then revealing the true cost after the deal is sealed." Ezra looked up. "You're not the first queen they've targeted. There are stories. Other rulers who made deals. Most of them ended badly." "Define badly." "Dead. Insane. Or disappeared into the Shadowlands never to return." Perfect. "There has to be a way out," Caspian said. "Some loophole. Some way to break the oath without consequences."
