Battle for the Shadow King

Captive of Shadows, Book 4

By: Bailey Dark

Narrated by: Isabella Tugman

Briar

What once was gained may now be lost.

I never thought my chambers would be my shelter and safety, and even then, I sleep lightly. Awake I am fearful, seeing the changes in Kane I cannot comprehend. Sleep brings me no solace, as it is lit by a burning brightness that engulfs me, and a stranger's voice I do not trust. I search for the flame that Kane had lit for me, burning in his eyes, but now I find only darkness. The fire that burned deep within my core for Kane, expounded by our bonded souls, feels cold and empty. Something lurks behind his evil stare and vindictive snarling lips, and it may threaten the lives of every soul, creature, and mortal across the realms.

Time is running out.

Will I be forced to make a choice that not only kills my beloved, but decimates my soul as well? Or is Willem wrong, and all hope is not lost deep within the purple haze of the Underworld?

Kane

The void is all around me, twisting my soul...breaking me.

I search for her, but I cannot see.

I call to her, but she cannot hear me.

If I don't break free of this empty damnation, Drogaem will take it all. The Underworld is not his only target, and though I scream out warnings, my voice cannot penetrate the forever of my cage.

Time is running out.

Only she can save us....

To die or not to die

Briar was finally getting used to the idea of being in the underworld with Kane when everything changes. After retrieving the crown , he isn’t acting at all like himself. She’s determined to get to the bottom of it with or with out Willem’s help. She’s willing to save him or die trying. The continuing saga has all the amazing elements of a paranormal dark lord story you would want. I’m a little disappointed that a lot of the story was repetitive in saying the same thing a different way. I would have liked to see more action of some sort maybe Kane busting through more then once or something. Also the word body was used a lot. I feel like either better sentence writing to avoid this or maybe just some different words for it. I did enjoy the book and am still very intrigued in the story. I thought there for a moment we were going to get some heat but it was just a tease lol. The narrator continues to do well with her characters and the emotion she puts behind the read! I really like her.
