About this book

Arwen is reeling from betrayal and awakening powers she never knew she had, and the only person she wants to direct all that rage toward is King Kane—who's somehow now an unavoidable presence on her dangerous quest for the legendary Blade of the Sun. As they journey through treacherous lands filled with unimaginable creatures and magic, the tension between them crackles with all the unresolved feelings Arwen is desperately trying to ignore, especially when Kane proves he'd become darkness itself just to keep her safe. To defeat the monstrous Fae king Lazarus and save everyone she loves, Arwen must uncover the secrets of her past and find the light within—but the cost might be everything. This is a gorgeously dark fantasy romance that'll have you swooning over Kane's devotion while desperately hoping Arwen can have both her power AND her happy ending.

yearningtempestuousetherealsmolderingdefiant

Dark fantasy romance with crackling tension and slow-burn passion. Blend ethereal fae atmospherics (Enya, orchestral elements) with smoldering indie rock and moody alt-pop (The Lumineers, Hozier, Florence + The Machine). Deep, brooding energy with building intensity—magic meets magnetism.
