About the Book

Raelin Daskar has spent her life being shaped, watched, and used by people who call it protection.

Sent into the Shadow Court to break a treaty, she expects monsters. Instead she finds a court built on dangerous bargains, old secrets, and a shadow lord who refuses to take what she has not offered.

But as Raelin uncovers the truth behind the power that made her, every choice pulls her deeper into betrayal, forbidden magic, and a realm that may not survive what she becomes.
