Our lands are fractured. Split into three since before my birth…. but they were not always this way. Once we prospered, magic filling our lands before it was locked away with them. The monsters. Now we suffer, we starve even as our king grows stronger. Richer. And then one day my sister is called upon, to make the ultimate sacrifice. Unable to lose the one person I love, I take her place willingly. Protecting her the only way I can. My name is Cora Black and I’m barely twenty years old when I’m sacrificed to the monsters. If only they knew that I crave the same darkness that lives within their monstrous facades. If only the king knew I am just as much a monster as them. Shadows save me, Shadows guide me. Shadows fracture me.

Our lands are changing, three becoming one. Merged together by my sister and her monsters. The magic has returned and new life blooms, no longer are the Dead Lands dismal and gray, but not everyone welcomes the change. I expected to die when I threw myself from the Gilded Land’s tower. Instead, I find myself surrounded by the monsters I feared the most. I assumed they’d be feral and dangerous. I didn’t expect them to show me the world, to fill my broken, darkened soul with light. My name is Kai Black and I’m no longer the woman stolen by the Gilded King. I’ve been shattered and remade into something different. Something new. If only I had known that I would be re-born from darkness, the same darkness that the monsters find me in. If only I’d known who the real monsters are. Shadows save us. Shadows guide us. Shadows heal me. \Please note this is a dark romance with lots of TW, for a detailed list please check inside of the book\
