She drank the dark. Now the realm will taste fire.

A fractured realm. A goddess unraveling. And the god who would destroy the world just to have her.

Kaelara Veylin has survived rebellion, blood, and betrayal—but the flame that once answered her now obeys something darker. Severed from her forge-born power, she stands on the edge of transformation. Shadow coils beneath her skin. Divinity stirs in her bones. And in the depths of her mind, he waits.

Kaelen—the god of shadows. Possessive. Merciless. Bound to her by magic and desire.

As old gods rise and empires fracture, Kaelara must walk the line between heroine and weapon. She’s haunted by the ones she’s lost, hunted by the ones she once led, and wanted by the being she can no longer silence.

He whispers in her dreams.
He tempts her toward godhood.
And every breath brings her closer to becoming his.


If you crave:

Shadow-drenched magic and divine obsession

Dream seduction and mental possession

A morally gray god who doesn’t ask

Searing enemies-to-lovers tension

A heroine clawing toward power—and losing her humanity

Rebellion, betrayal, and court politics with teeth

Then step into the fire with The Unleashed Darkness, Book 4 in The Chronicles of Aeryndor.
