Description
Vannaria is a woman haunted—literally. As the last Nightshadow Elf and a Fragmented Soul, she shares her body and mind with two other entities, all driven by a singular, burning need for vengeance against those who destroyed their kingdom. When she encounters a wanted poster featuring a striking woman named Mariane, she sees a path to gold. But the mission quickly shifts from a cold transaction to something far more dangerous.
Mariane is a runaway desperate to escape a suffocating arranged marriage to a brutal prince. Her only weapon is a painful, taxing gift that allows her to shapeshifter into a wolf. She is fleeing toward the sanctuary of Farwen Forest, lacking resources and allies, until she finds herself in the orbit of the enigmatic Vannaria. What begins as a tense, wary alliance between two outsiders blooms into a fragile trust as the true depth of their burdens comes to light.
Bound by shared trauma and a thirst for justice, the two women must navigate a treacherous world of mercenaries and political intrigue. As they strike a deal to dismantle those who wronged them, they discover that their greatest challenge may not be their enemies, but the magnetic, evolving bond growing between them.
