A Gothic Romantasy

The man she loved is dead.

The gods are about to regret it.

Book one of the Shrouded Forest

When Cecelia is unexpectedly named Heir of the Shrouded Forest instead of her twin brother, her life is destroyed overnight.

The inheritance binds her to a rare and corrupted magic feared by even the divine. When her furious father murders her mate in protest, Cecelia braces for death.

Instead, she’s forced to survive.

Thrust into the heart of a brutal power struggle between warring realms, Cecelia becomes a target for both sides. Desperate to sever her connection to the forest before it consumes her completely, she reluctantly allies herself with Prince Myrad and his loyal bloodsworn guards. But the prince's help comes at a cost, and fate seems determined to entangle them further.

As divine forces close in, Cecelia finds herself caught in a centuries-old conflict that threatens far more than her own survival. Torn between duty and desire, she begins to fall for a quiet scholar harboring secrets of his own. But in a world where death is never far, and the gods are always watching, Cecelia must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to reclaim control of her life and avenge her mate.
