Erissa Zorander, the forgotten princess, lives as a prisoner in the corrupt Fae king’s castle, isolated and haunted by a mysterious shadowed presence. When she discovers a hidden well of magic within herself, everything changes.
Shade, the last pure-blood Fae, exists as a pawn bound to an immortal witch’s will. His sole mission: watch Erissa until she masters her power—then take it. But as the spirited princess defies the world around her, she also defies Shade’s resolve.
Rescuing her was never part of the plan, yet now he can’t let her go. With fate and freedom hanging in the balance, they must choose between duty and desire. But can a phantom become a savior—or will his dark past destroy them both?
