Shadow Citadel, The

Her power can unmake reality. His curse is to feel every agonizing surge. Victoria Kelly is a Reality Cascade, a walking catastrophe whose untethered magic is tearing holes in the fabric of the world. Each nightmare, each flicker of fear, unleashes a destructive wave—and Owen Blake feels it all. Bound to her by a painful soul-bond, the once-immortal guardian is now a mortal man, forced to endure the full force of the storm raging within her soul. Hunted by a manipulative cosmic entity who has branded her a disease and himself the cure, they are fugitives in a world falling apart. An army of silent, reality-erasing horrors known as The Hush sweeps the streets, methodically cornering them. Their only hope lies in a desperate quest for the Obsidian Archive, a secret library containing the soul of all existence—and one of the five pillars holding their dying world together. But their path to salvation may be a lie paved by a traitor, and every step is part of the enemy's grand experiment. To save reality, Owen must confront a past that was violently stolen from him, and Victoria must embrace the monstrous power she fears most. In a war fought with corrupted memories and weaponized grief, the only thing more dangerous than losing control might be the terrifying price of winning.
