Shadow Rising

Years ago the Fae laid waste to their kingdom, destroying villages and killing their people. King Heron, desperate to spare his people the monstrosoties of war, met with the Fae royalty and the treaty was struck. The condition for not killing every mortal in sight was the presentation of each woman in the kingdom to the Fae, one would be chosen, and taken away. After years of the treaty sitting unfulfilled, the selection of Shadow Athell changes everything.

Ten years after witnessing the brutal slaughter of her family, Shadow- the queen's assassin - must face their killer and work to stop the greatest evil the world has ever known. The disruption of her life was one thing, but when her loved ones are threatened she has no choice but to fight back. With the help of unlikely companions and a love found and lost she makes her way through the harrowing world of Faerie. From fighting pits to ambushes, Shadow doesn't have it easy, but she knows she must make it home to save the ones she loves, and she knows the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
