The kingdom of Crim rests along the mountainous human and fae borders, dedicated to defending the human realm from the shapeshifters at all cost. Brendalyn Ellingboe is the perfect image of a soldier. Everything in Bren’s world seems to be under her control, that is until she is bitten by a shapeshifter. The shapeshifter venom rips Bren’s consciousness in two, leaving her trapped in the same body as her new hellacious twin, Shadow. While the sun shines Bren is in perfect control of her life, but within her lurks a demon. Like a stain upon her soul, Shadow emerges only at night, straining for bloodshed and freedom. Thankfully the new general of Crim, Novah Vang, has experience with shapeshifter poison. In fact, he has more knowledge about the fae than anyone within Crim’s walls. Bren and Novah dance around the truth like a deadly waltz. Their attraction is just one more flame that has set Bren’s world afire. Bren must tame Shadow, her personal demon, before she can tackle the dangers that threaten her kingdom. But Shadow is not the only traitor. Beating beneath Bren’s chest blooms another. Her loyalty to Crim versus the man she loves battle as she navigates who within her now murky alliances she can trust.
