Banished by Darkness

About this book

A morally gray queen. An ancient curse. And a battle that tears apart realms. After slaying the Dark King and succumbing to the Veiling, Emilia's life seems to be slipping by... It's becoming harder and harder to remember who she is, let alone differentiate between the Veiling's blood lust and her own morals. She knows she should be grieving the loss of her sister and her friend-but how can she grieve properly when, every second, she's losing touch with who she truly is? Adriene, the feared immortal mage who's falling for his new queen, won't allow Emilia to give in to the curse, knowing that she can fight it... That they can fight the Veiling together. But the threatening war didn't stop with Aaron's death. So, when the Solstice Realm is divided between the merfolk king's desires and Emilia's new reign, a bloody battle tears apart the fabric of the realm and shakes the foundation of their world. Between stolen kisses and learning the ropes to her outcast kingdom, a prophecy involving Emilia and a path to revive her sister emerges, and she's given an opportunity that has a grave cost... Can she save her loved ones while also saving herself? Continue this romantic dark fantasy adventure full of shapeshifters, mermaids, and vampires.
