Shadow Veil

Remember the old faerie tales, the real ones? Where Dark Faeries stole children, cursed kingdoms, and reshaped lives. Yeah, they weren't stories.

Cait Reagan fled Earth not out of cowardice, but out of love. Half-mad with wild fae magic and terrified she'd hurt the people she cared about most, she ran to Shaddan-the ancestral home of the Dark Faerie. There, broken on the brink of death, she was taken in by the ancient guardians of the Vermillion Palace and slept like a gothic Snow White for eight months.

But Mother Morrigan isn't done with her... not yet.

Cait wakes blind, transformed, and-much to her horror-crowned the sole Faerie princess of a blood-soaked legacy. She inherits no real power, a crumbling court riddled with ancient grudges, and more enemies than she can count. Worse, the magic remaking her is neither quiet nor kind. Something dark is settling into her bones: new instincts she doesn't recognize, impulses she should hate... but doesn't, and a pull toward power that feels like ecstasy.

Before Cait can even find her footing, she's maneuvered into a political betrothal with the exiled and dangerously charming Princess of the Night Court. And Liz, her vampire fiancée from Earth? Well, she's on her way.

Caught between two worlds, two promises, and a crown she never wanted, Cait must survive lethal Dark Fae politics and hold on to herself long enough to choose what she becomes.

Even if it leads her to war. Even if it kills her. Again.
