A slow-burn, spicy romantasy with enemies-to-lovers heat, arranged marriage tension, and a dark fae Duke with wings and a secret. To survive a world built to extinguish her light, Gabriella must do the one thing she swore she’d never do again… trust a beautiful, infuriating fae duke with a dark past. Gabriella was bred as a weapon—part angel, part fae, part human, raised in a gilded tower where affection was a liability, and men were monsters with pretty faces. Now the power elite that forged her has perfected siphoning, a ritual that strips fae and angels to a screaming husk. When Gabriella wakes shackled beneath the tower that made her, she knows two things: if they discover what she is, the prophecy will burn… and she will, too. Sevrin has survived the ward through ruthlessness, secrets, and one crucial lie: he’s promised the Eligere he’ll fight for them. A royal-blood fae with shadows at his call and guilt carved into his bones, he’s done being anyone’s hero—until Gabriella crashes into his world, all molten power and lethal fury. The Eligere want her light on their altar. Sevrin wants her bound to him in a forbidden bond that could turn the siphon back on their captors. Bond with him, and they might escape. Refuse, and she’ll learn what it means to be drained—body, magic, and soul. Forced into a brutal bargain, Gabriella and Sevrin become unwilling allies in a dungeon where coupling is currency, desire is weaponized, and every touch could be the start of a sacred rite… or a death sentence. As their powers twine—her light, his shadow—their enemies tighten the noose around the prophecy child above, and every stolen moment between them pulls Gabriella closer to the one fate she fears most: belonging. If you love spicy romantasy, razor-edged banter, “touch her and die” energy, morally gray fae, dungeon-forced proximity, and scorching, high-stakes bonds, you’ll devour Shards & Shadow, a dark, spicy romantasy set in The Angels & Fae of Tenebrea universe. Bond, or bleed. Dive into Shards & Shadow and choose your poison today.
