Carys Morgan is torn between two worlds.

One bright. The other shadow.

One familiar. The other filled with magic.

In one life, Carys is an assistant mythology professor in Northern California. In the Shadowlands, she’s a dragon rider with close ties to royals, fae, and powerful magic wielders. It’s not just differing worlds that Carys must navigate but the love of two very different men who wear the same beloved face.

When the Anglian king dies, Carys returns to the Shadowlands where a brittle peace accord threatens to crumble. As war looms and old gods begin to wake, Carys will have to choose between the two men vying for her heart and the two worlds that promise very different destinies.

Dragons, fae, and a fantasy world that is at once familiar and entirely unique—USA Today Bestselling Author Elizabeth Hunter is a master at her craft, unspooling complex worlds and characters into an addictive page-turner you won’t be able to put down!
