He thought I had a heart of gold but was too blind to see I had the heart of a monster.
Fae princess Amara has spent her life trying to avoid being her father's political pawn. When he punishes her latest rebellion with an arranged marriage to Sorrellia's sadistic prince, she plots her escape.
She almost makes it to freedom.
Instead, she's caught by the smooth-talking Ash Bringer, Tristan Isair, Sorrellia's most powerful fire fae commander. He offers her a bargain: he'll help her unleash her suppressed magic if she'll extend her kingdom's wards to shield Sorrellia from the invading monsters. With death looming as the alternative, Amara agrees to a blood bond with her kingdom's most dangerous enemy-and soon discovers both Tristan and Sorrellia are nothing like the lies she was taught.
As mercenaries, monsters, and meddling gods close in, Amara and Tristan must decide whether unlocking her power and surrendering to their forbidden desire will save the realm or ignite a war that could unleash something far worse than monsters.
Through Monsters and Shadows is a slow-burn, high-stakes adult romantasy perfect for fans of Shield of Sparrows, Heir of Illusion, and Trial of the Sun Queen. With steamy romance, a rich magic system, and sharp banter threaded through epic danger, this is a story of power, forbidden desire, and the consequences of awakening both.
