📚 Book 1 of a completed 3-book series
When a selfless act of sacrifice lands Arwen in the clutches of the Onyx King's dark kingdom, she discovers she's far more powerful—and resilient—than she ever imagined. Forced to heal enemy soldiers while navigating treacherous castle politics and ancient, sinister magic, Arwen must rely on an infuriating (but dangerously attractive) fellow prisoner who seems to know exactly how to push her buttons. As she uncovers dormant abilities within herself and plots her escape through a landscape filled with deadly secrets, Arwen realizes that survival might mean embracing the very darkness she's been taught to fear. This is a swoony, high-stakes fantasy romance about discovering your own strength—and maybe finding unexpected passion along the way.
