The Shadow Bride

Born without a shadow, she must now rule the world between light and darkness. Loma was born different—light touched her skin but cast no shadow. In a world where shadows are proof of a soul's presence, she is feared, whispered to, and hunted by the ruthless Hunters of Light, who see her as a prophesied abomination. Forced to hide her true nature, Looma lives a life of silence and contrived lies—until a dream changes everything. In the darkness of sleep, a mysterious shadow appears to her. It speaks with an ancient and familiar voice, offering her protection... in exchange for marriage. But this is no ordinary shadow. He is the exiled prince of a forgotten realm—the Hollow Dark—a hidden kingdom beneath the waking world, where shadows rule and light never reaches. If she accepts his offer, Looma will become the Queen of Shadows, inheriting a power that could destroy the world of light... or save it. Torn between two worlds, hounded by those who fear her and loved by those who exploit her, Loma must decide what kind of queen she wants to be—before the two worlds collapse into war. "The Shadow Bride" is a rich, haunting, and dark fantasy filled with forbidden love, dream-filled worlds, and the price of belonging. It's perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber, Leigh Bardugo, and Holly Black.
