A princess born of shadow. A fighter born of flame. And a prophecy that will change everything.
In Eros, two cities teeter on the brink of civil war as Vera Thorne, a lowborne street-fighter, discovers a deadly secret. Power sleeps beneath her skin, power prophesied to be either the world's salvation or its damnation. The rebels need a champion. The prophecy calls for a savior...or a villain. And Vera Thorne must make a dangerous choice-trust her instincts, and her enemy, or watch her city burn.
Across the sea in Mortas, Aklys Blackwell is the daughter of a tyrant king, desperate to make her father proud. When she is forced to torture a prisoner tied to an international rebellion, everything she thought she knew begins to change. She soon discovers things are not always what they seem within the Black Keep. As her father's corruption comes to light, Aklys must choose between the life she's always known, or a rebellion that could change the world.
Vera and Aklys never wanted to be heroes, but fate rarely asks permission.
With elemental magic, reluctant heroines, slow-burn tension, and plenty of morally gray choices, Born of Shadow and Flame is a dark fantasy debut perfect for readers of Shadow and Bone, One Dark Window, and The Bone Shard Daughter.
You are not what they made you, but what you choose to become.
