The more I resist, the tighter his shadows coil around me...
Ayana
Everything I've ever loved has been stolen from me. My family. My settlement. Even my freedom, after the Matriarch herself placed a collar around my neck to control the magic in my veins. My days are spent healing her soldiers, only to watch them spread more bloodshed across the galaxy.
Until a shadowy figure infiltrates the fortress and snatches me from my bed. The dreaded wraith king is as dangerous as he is seductive, with eyes like the evening suns and lies of my freedom on his lips. He wants my power to destroy the Matriarch, but I'll be damned if I'll trade one commanding jailer for another.

I'm carved from the shadows of Gamarr, a king turned predator waging war against the monster who annihilated my world. Ayana, a human verdant with the power to bring the venterran scum to their knees—she's the key to my revenge.
Abducting her from the Matriarch's clutches was just the start; now, I have to convince her that our bond is more than a means to a bloody end. Her fiery defiance and iron will only stoke the flames of my hunger, driving me to claim her, body and soul.
She sees me as no better than her previous master, but with every electric touch, every shared secret, I'll prove what I've known from the moment I first caught her scent.
Ayana is my Cor Umbra, my shadow's heart, and when our power melds together, the venterrans will be nothing but cosmic dust beneath our boots.
