Description

After enduring a century of perpetual night, can Aurora save the kingdom from the Prince of Darkness?

The King of Darkness is dead, his violent reign of tyranny is over, and the first rays of light mark the beginning of a deadly ritual to choose the next monarch - The Coronation.

One wielder of each element’s power is selected by the magic of the land to compete in six dangerous games, but only one will survive.

Aurora never expected the woman who raised her to carry such a dangerous secret. She was one of the last light bringers, and was now being forced to participate in the deadly trials for the throne as well as master her newfound magic.

Sterling, Prince of Darkness- her most dangerous opponent- singles her out on the first day, vowing to end her and thrust the kingdom into perpetual night.

Each stolen moment in the shadows brings more questions than answers and shows her the man behind the cold and vicious mask.

Passion ignites, alliances form, but as tension rises between her and the Prince, she begins to realize she might not have to pay with her life… but with her heart.

Will the land of Gaylwynn be freed by the sun, or will it be taken over by eternal shadows?

For fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night and A Kiss of Iron, Eternal Shadows is book one in the Coronation Trials Duet and is a heart-wrenching, slow burn, enemies to lovers romance with a morally black shadow daddy that would do anything for the women he’s obsessed with.
