A Shard of Shadow: An Epic Enemies to Lovers Fantasy Romance with forbidden magic, a ruthless shadow king, and a librarian turned heretic.

In the hallowed silence of the Athenaeum, librarian’s apprentice Claire Mitchell nurtures a secret that could see her burned at the stake. In a city ruled by the light-worshipping Argent Ministry, where any trace of shadow magic is purged as a plague, the heresy living in her veins must be suppressed at all costs. But when a brutal, city-wide raid forces her to unleash her impossible power—a unique fusion of both light and shadow—to save her only friend, her carefully constructed world shatters.

Hunted and alone, Claire is caught between two devastating forces vying for her soul. On one side is Nicholas Mitchell, the Ministry’s brilliant and relentless Vindicator, a principled hunter who sees her as a sickness to be “cured.” He offers salvation in a cage of light, promising to purify her by cutting half of her power away. On the other is Warren Johnston, the charismatic leader of a shadowy rebellion. He sees her as a prophesied savior, a living key to unleashing their caged god and remaking the world. He offers a throne of darkness, promising to nurture the very power she has spent her life fearing.

As Claire is dragged deeper into a war where both sides are built on devastating lies, she discovers a secret at the heart of their conflict—a tragedy a thousand years old that only she has the power to resolve. Forced to choose between a savior who would vivisect her soul and a rebel who would deify her, she must learn to command the storm within. In a world where love is a weapon and faith is a cage, her truth will not be salvation. It will be a reckoning.
