KINGDOM OF SHADOWS AND DUST<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the king\u2019s only daughter, Ava was supposed to be many things; meek,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

submissive, and above all, silent. While she dreams of fighting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

alongside the armies of Ankara, she\u2019s forced to hide her identity behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a veil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems her prayers are answered when fate intervenes, allowing Ava to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sneak away and join the battle. Yet the tides of war turn on her,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

leaving the young beauty defeated… her hopes shattered. Her only<\/p>\n\n\n\n

chance at salvation is Callan, a mysterious black wolf willing to risk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

everything by hiding her away among his kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are some dangers far more ominous than the snapping jaws of a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ripped away from the brave Turnskins, Ava is imprisoned by the beguiling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow King who fills her head with promises of peace and a haze of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

passion. Forced to choose between her family, the bond she shares with<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Callan, and the handsome king’s striking proposal, Ava finds herself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

torn between duty and desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an unthinkable sacrifice is required to save all she holds dear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

will Ava accept the crushing demands of taking the crown? Or follow her<\/p>\n\n\n\n

heart to the forbidden touch she desperately craves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
