Shadows & Starlight

Ophelia Aetherlight has lived a quiet life, a guardian of Bevan, content with small joys-romance novels, a warm hearth, and the comfort of the familiar. For seven years, she has protected her people, walking a steady path. But everything shatters the day a stranger arrives-a shadow from beyond their borders carrying secrets that should have remained buried.

With Nova Duskweaver's arrival, prophecies long forgotten stir, and a darkness long held at bay begins to creep into every corner of Ophelia's life. The rebellion, the crown, the war she never sought-suddenly, she is entangled in forces far beyond her control. And Nova, with her sharp eyes and sharper tongue, is at the center of it all.

Ophelia knows better than to trust a woman like Nova-cunning, dangerous, and hiding too many secrets of her own. But as war looms and betrayal lurks in every shadow, she must decide whether Nova is the key to her salvation or the architect of her destruction.

When the storm finally breaks and all illusions are shattered, Ophelia stands at a crossroads. One path leads to redemption-its cost unknown, its reward uncertain. The other offers only destruction, a path of ruin with no return.

And so, with the weight of her choices upon her, Ophelia must decide: Will she rise to the challenge, or will the darkness swallow her whole?

For fans of Throne of Glass, The Shadows Between Us, and Serpent & Dove, Shadows & Starlight is a dark, romantic fantasy filled with rebellion, intrigue, and an intoxicating enemies-to-lovers tension.
