Never go to the darkwood. Always hide your hair. Never share your shadow magic. Wren’s life in the forest is full of rules. And if anyone knew that the shadow magic whispered to Wren every day, her life would be over.

So when she sees an irritatingly handsome knight, alone in the darkwood and under attack, his strong arms holding up a gleaming sword – why is it so, so tempting to give in to the whispers?

Knight Finn serves the kingdom by hunting down shadow magic. So if Wren exposes her secret powers Finn will be duty-bound to take her prisoner – or worse.

But it’s the only way to save him. And looking into his blue eyes, Wren makes her choice. As her skin gently brushes his, Wren’s magic – and an uncontrollable desire – floods through both their veins.

But is the thrill of Finn’s touch as real as it seems? And as their futures are bound together by the threat of war sweeping the kingdom, will Wren regret breaking the most important rule of all… or will their passion make it all worthwhile, even if it destroys them both?

Fans of Rebecca Yarros, Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout will be completely gripped by this addictive and enchanting fantasy romance!
