The epic, unmissable new romantic fantasy. 2025s most-anticipated debut romantasy is filled with hope after heartbreak, secrets, betrayal, dancing and the touch of a goddess of death My protector is gone, revealed to be a monster. But I remind myself that I am not a damsel. Im no princess bound within a tower. I am a shadow. Vasalie Moran was once a dancer in King Illians court until he framed her for murder. Barely surviving her two years in the dungeons, shes suddenly called to face her King. He offers her a deal: become his spy at the month-long royal Gathering and hell grant her freedom. As Illians orders grow bloody and dangerous, forcing her to harm and betray those around her, Vasalie discovers the monster she serves may be aligned with a bigger monster one far closer to home. With her world threatened, Vasalie enlists the help of Illians brother and greatest adversary, the King of the East. As the rivalry between brothers escalates with Vasalie caught in the middle, the truth of her past comes to light. If she wants to survive, she must decide who to trust, who to fight for, and how much of her soul shes willing to damn in the process
