She freed the monsters her blood was sworn to cage. A witch bound by blood. Three demons born of shadow. Together, we’ll awaken something the realms forgot to fear. All I wanted was freedom—one forbidden spell to sever my father’s hold and reclaim the power he stole from me. Instead, I broke the oldest seal in existence. And set a demon free. Kerron was supposed to be a myth, a fallen god buried beneath my coven’s temple. Now he’s bound to me by blood and desire—and somehow, I’m the key to saving his realm. But Kerron isn’t the only one bound to me. Varik, all cold intellect and quiet control. Daeon, wildfire wrapped in a grin. Three demons. Three desires. One impossible fate. When old gods stir and witch hunters close in, I’ll have to choose who I truly serve—the world that made me… or the monsters who would unmake it for me. From the Publisher Perfect for readers – Slow-burn to scorching why-choose romance – Dark fantasy with fated mates and forbidden bonds – Witches, demons, and realms steeped in ancient power – Sarah J. Maas, Scarlett St. Clair, and Rina Kent Awakened by Darkness is part of the Shadow World series and features a new heroine and three love interests.

Expect dark fantasy, witch-born power, demon gods, slow-burn to scorching heat, and a heroine who tests the limits of love, loyalty, and power in a world where light and shadow are no longer at war—but entwined.
