A Cadre of Ash and Shadow (Paperback)

Paperback. Her world is one of vibrant life, of sun-drenched groves and ancient, earth-bound magick. His is a realm of perpetual twilight, of stone and silence, ruled by a lord who has long forgotten the warmth of the sun. When a primordial evil known as the Ashen begins to consume the land, their two worlds collide. In a desperate attempt to forge a weapon, a powerful ritual binds Elaera, a young druid, to the enigmatic Lord Sicarius. Their minds are fused, their souls laid bare, creating a connection that is as intimate as it is dangerous. Forced to rely on each other, they are drawn into the heart of the darkness--a labyrinthine prison that feeds on fear and memory. There, hunted by a nightmare that wears the face of a friend, they must unravel an ancient prophecy and confront the terrible power that now thrives within their bond. But some victories come at a price too high to pay, and in the ruins of their war, a new threat is born from the ashes of grief. In a war between shadow and light, can they find the strength to fight the monster without becoming one themselves? This item is printed on demand.
