Crown of Thorns Academy

The Reign of Shadows (A Dark Novella - Book Three)

A crown lost to shadow. A soul torn in two. The darkness has finally won, unless she can survive her own reign.

Briar’s throne was forged in heartbreak and shadow. Now Queen of the Obsidian Court, her choices have shattered alliances and left Faerie forever changed. Betrayed by those she once loved and seduced by the power of darkness, Briar must rule a world where hope is a weapon and love is a memory.

But even as she embraces her new title, an ancient enemy stirs, and the true cost of power becomes clear. To protect her realm and herself, Briar must decide if she can reclaim the light she lost…or if her fate is to become the very monster she swore to fight.

Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Holly Black, and Sarah J. Maas, The Reign of Shadows is a darkly romantic, emotionally charged novella of sacrifice, survival, and the secrets we carry into the night.

The shadows have risen. The crown is hers. But the battle for her soul has only just begun.
