Reign of Shadows #1
Sophie Jordan
Seventeen
years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual
darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen
and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok’s lost princess, has been hiding
in a tower ever since. Luna’s survival depends on the world believing
she is dead.
But that doesn’t stop Luna from wanting more. When
she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her
tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is
attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is
more treacherous than Luna ever realized.
With every threat
stacked against them, Luna and Fowler find solace in each other. But
with secrets still unspoken between them, falling in love might be their
most dangerous journey yet.

Darrow
would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold
overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his
people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to
transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive
the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society's mightiest warriors,
climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that
will tear the hierarchy apart from within.
Finally, the time has come.
But
devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides.
Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or
mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. To win,
Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their
chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a
destiny too long denied - and too glorious to surrender.

Mare
Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability,
the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the
royal court tries to control.
The crown calls her an
impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the
prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling:
she is not the only one of her kind.
Pursued by Maven, now a
vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver
fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors.
But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat.
Will
she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of
rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?
