Shadow of Hope

As children, he saved her life. Now, he is the assassin
sent to kill her.

Years ago, Raine rescued Princess Kalista of Avalyn,
unknowingly sealing his own fate. To protect her, he became the Shadow—an
assassin bound to serve the ruthless Lord Mahan. Now, as Mahan’s deadly schemes
threaten Avalyn, Raine is ordered to kill the woman he’s loved since childhood.

Betrothed to Luke Ramsey since birth, Kalista always knew
her marriage would be one of duty. Yet every night, she dreams of the boy who
saved her—a boy she thought she’d never see again. When Raine reappears in her
life, she’s drawn to him despite the danger he represents. But her growing
feelings for Raine threaten not only her arranged marriage but also the fragile
stability of her kingdom.

As Avalyn faces war and betrayal, Kalista is torn between
her duty to her people and the desire of her heart. With assassins closing in
and love pulling her in two directions, can she save her kingdom without losing
herself—or the men she cares for most?

With a love triangle
rife with duty and longing, pick up this best-selling, award-winning
series and dive into a tale of passion, sacrifice, and courage in
the face of overwhelming darkness.
