She became the wall that saved them. Now the light is learning how to turn her into a weapon. Aveline was never meant to survive her own sacrifice. To protect the last refugees of the Shadow Court, she gave up her body and became the living obsidian barrier around the Shard-Camp. Seventy miles of jagged stone. Seventy miles of silence. Seventy miles of protection held together by a queen who can no longer breathe, touch, or remember what it felt like to be flesh. But the wall is not safe. Deep within its foundations, a golden frequency has begun to sing. The Radiant Queen has found a way into Aveline's True Name, threading altar-song through the obsidian and rewriting her from the inside out. Memories vanish. Language fractures. The barrier begins to turn brittle with Radiant gold. And every time Aveline reaches for the woman she used to be, the stone demands more of her humanity.
Valerius refuses to let his wife become a tomb. As Steward of the Shard-Camp, he is responsible for thousands of frightened survivors who depend on the wall to live. But as political rot spreads through the camp and former loyalties turn dangerous, Valerius makes an impossible choice. He abandons the safety of the settlement and ventures into the mist-choked ruins of the Umbral Hold, hunting for a forbidden second anchor that could restore Aveline's body. If he fails, Aveline will become a mindless monument. If he succeeds, the barrier may crack open and leave everyone behind it exposed. Every touch between them is a risk. Every bargain demands blood. Every memory has a price. And in a realm where light devours as cruelly as darkness, Aveline and Valerius must decide what is worth saving: the wall that protects the kingdom, or the woman trapped inside it. Perfect for readers who love dark fae romantasy, shadow courts, obsessive devotion, cursed magic, political betrayal, forbidden bonds, and high-stakes enemies-to-lovers romance.
