About this audiobook
Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.
A shadow-weaver who broke the law to save her brother. A duty-bound captain who believes in the rules she shattered. And a dying king's secret that could destroy them both. Kaelen Ashford, a vampire shadow-weaver, has spent years hiding her illegal magic after using it to free her brother from the king's dungeons. When her exiled family is called home for the Solstice—a holiday she dreads—she discovers the captain of the royal guard, Rhys Mortain, has been sent to escort them. Rhys is everything Kaelen despises: rigid, loyal to a corrupt crown, and suspicious of her every move. But when a blizzard traps them at her ancestral estate, the forced proximity ignites a fiery attraction neither can resist. Kaelen soon learns she is pregnant—a dangerous secret in a court where heirs are political weapons. Worse, the dying king has summoned her for a purpose that could unravel the realm: a ritual that demands her shadow magic and her life. Now Kaelen faces an impossible choice: trust Rhys, the man who could betray her to the king, or flee alone and risk her family's execution. As the Solstice moon rises, they uncover a conspiracy that ties their fates together, and the promise they made to protect each other may be the only thing that saves them—or the very thing that destroys them. Tropes: forced proximity, accidental pregnancy, enemies-to-lovers, holiday homecoming, vampire romance, shadow magic, secret pregnancy, duty vs. desire. The Shadow Court Chronicles continues. For readers who love the brooding tension of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood and the lush, forbidden romance of Sarah J. Maas's Crescent City, this novel delivers a heart-pounding blend of political intrigue, supernatural danger, and a love that defies the rules. The series follows the Ashford siblings and their allies as they navigate a crumbling court, ancient magic, and forbidden bonds. Next in the series: A Court of Blood and Flame, featuring Kaelen's brother, the fire-wielding rogue, and a fae assassin with a secret that could burn them all. Read on for a sneak peek of the first chapter.
Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
