The Shadow Sacrifice

Hidden in shadow. Bound by curse. Saved by love. When Lyra River is captured for her forbidden shadow magic, she expects execution. Instead, she finds herself claimed by Lord Cassian Nightshade, a haunted nobleman with secrets darker than the beast he becomes at nightfall. Trapped within his enchanted manor, Lyra discovers a web of ancient betrayal and magical vengeance. The walls hold memories of women who came before her—women who look eerily like herself. As Lyra's power grows, so does her inexplicable attraction to the tormented lord who feeds on her magic to survive. Each night brings dangerous transformations. Each touch ignites forbidden desire. And with every shared moment, the line between captor and captive blurs, revealing a connection that transcends their curse. But beyond the manor walls, the Silver Shield Order gathers its forces, determined to eradicate all magic and the shadow-wielders who command it. As enemies close in from all sides, Lyra must decide if Cassian's redemption is worth risking everything—including her soul. In a world where magic is condemned, their greatest power may be the one thing they fear most: surrender. The Shadow Sacrifice is a dark fantasy romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, captive/captor dynamics, and soul-binding magic. Contains mature themes intended for adult readers.
