Bonds of Shadow and Starlight
Magic has always demanded a price, but at the Umbral Academy that price is paid in blood, shadows, and broken souls. Hidden high in the Veilmoor Mountains, the Academy trains the most dangerous Fae alive-those whose power can either safeguard kingdoms or shatter them.
Lyra Nightshade never wanted to be here. Half-human, half-Fae, she is marked as both outsider and weapon. When she is chosen for the deadly Shadow Trials, survival means more than just enduring the labyrinth's ancient magic-it means resisting the Academy's ruthless politics and the enemies hiding behind every ally's smile.
But the Trials are only the beginning. Old prophecies stir, the Shadow Court gathers beyond the Veil, and a convergence of magic threatens to unravel the boundaries between worlds. Amid betrayals and impossible choices, Lyra's fate becomes entwined with Cassian Shadowmere, a rival whose power mirrors her own-and whose dangerous pull could either save her or consume her.
The shadows are rising. The stars are aligning. And some bonds, once forged, can never be broken.
