Sage is getting tired being the talk of topic within her friend group. But unlike her hook up-happy and sexually active friends, she refuses to settle for a meaningless one-night stand to satisfy her needs. When her drunk friends suggest the ultimate taboo in her book - asking her gorgeous roommate and childhood friend, Jakob, to help her "situation" - Sage dismisses it. It's a terrible idea. It's an unspoken rule of roommate etiquette. But once the dynamic shifts, the tension in their shared apartment becomes impossible to ignore. Crossing the line could ruin their life-long friendship... or it could be exactly what they've both been looking for.

A huntress named Lily Holloway, burdened by a traumatic past and a dangerous ancient power (a Shadowborn heritage awakened generations by a lullaby), returns to her hometown seeking only peace and her mother's memory. She reunites with her childhood friend, the one person who can calm the darkness inside her and begins to build a fragile sense of belonging through new friends and a found family in the local guild. But the powerful king who once destroyed her life returns, determined to reclaim her, forcing Lily to choose between protecting the people she has come to cherish... or embracing the terrifying destiny she was born to fulfill, a destiny that could either save kingdoms or destroy it. In short: a character-driven soft dark romantasy about a woman trying to claim an ordinary life while an inherited shadow power, unresolved trauma, and political forces pull her toward an epic, dangerous fate.

"𝘼 𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚." Sebastian wanted an escape. For years, he had treated his mother's basement as a shelter, hiding from a small town that felt like a cheap video game with a predictable script. He was almost done trying to find a reason to stay-until Violet arrived. The Zuzu City girl with the mismatched eyes who didn't play by the rules of the valley. For a year, their friendship consisted of silent observation, shared secrets, and mutual fixation. Until the night Violet vanished without a trace. But three months later, Violet walks right back into Stardew, and claims to have no memory of where she's been. Now, caught between the life he tried to rebuild and the ghost of the only girl he ever wanted, Sebastian is about to realize that whatever climbed out of the Mines didn't return to save him-it came to drag him into the dark.
