Purchase options and add-ons
I stepped into the Shadow Court to save my brother. I didn't expect to walk out as the bride of the monster who killed the man I loved.
Kaan is the ruthless Lord of Shadows—ancient, merciless, and terrifyingly beautiful. He murdered Aslan with a smile on his lips and my name on his tongue. Then he claimed me as payment for a blood debt.
Now, I'm his wife in black silk and silver chains. Owned. Caged. Watched.
And on our wedding night, he doesn't ask. He takes—my body, my breath, my resistance—until I break. His mouth. His rules. His shadows, wrapping around me like a noose.
I swore I'd kill him. Instead, I'm moaning his name in the dark.
Because monsters like him don't make love. They unmake you. But Kaan doesn't want love. He wants devotion. He wants me to beg.
And the worst part? I think I will.
This is a dark romantasy and the first book in the Kingdom of Shadow trilogy. Set in the same universe as the Kingdom of Light series (Crown of Ashes and Desire), this story takes place approximately 400 years earlier. While both series can be read independently, reading the Kingdom of Shadow series first is recommended for the fullest experience. Both series feature dark romantasy with cliffhanger endings.

About the authors
Discover more of the author’s books, see similar authors, read book recommendations and more.
When she’s not lost in the pages of a fantasy novel, M.F. Grace can be found wandering the misty trails of the Irish countryside, dreaming up stories of magic, mystery, and unforgettable romance. A lifelong book lover, she’s always had her nose in a book and a soft spot for castles, ancient ruins, and anything with a touch of the otherworldly.
She shares her days with her three daughters, often baking up sweet treats in between chapters, and spends her evenings either watching fantasy series or practicing her French. A recent (and slightly chaotic) adventure has seen her dabble in growing her own vegetables, with mixed but magical results.
If you’re a fan of romantic fantasy filled with emotion, escapism, and just a hint of whimsy, you’ve come to the right place.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 30, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWhen the very famous author Vi Carter, Queen of the Dark Irish Mafia, told me she was writing a Romantasy novel with Maya Basol, I was happily surprised 😮 To be honest, Romantasy books are not my favourite type of novel. But I was so so so wrong.
Just the Dedication is worth 5⭐️!!!
We meet Lord Kaan, Lord of the Shadow, setting court. He accused Lord Zoran to have killed Advisor Malik in a peace negotiations about borders discussions. That’s when Lady Nesilhan came and try to save her brother’s life. In exchange, she will marry Lord Kaan in a blood debt. That’s mean they will be bound by blood. Every
Thoughts, emotions.They will feel them both as theirs. And the bound make lying impossible.
And that’s when the fun begins!!! She wants to kill him because he killed her mother. She hates him but did she really is?
The back and forth between them is a battle no one will win. And Kaan? Omg!!! He is narcissistic, stubborn, arrogant and his sarcasm is why I love him so much!!! His rhetorical ability to make everything he said so funny, it’s just amazing!!! Since Lady Nesilhan is a diplomatic person, she’s logical, intelligent and smart. So the two together is like… Shadows and Light!!!!
The only problem is that is a trilogy so we have to wait to see what happens after this book.
Vi and Maya congratulations! I never thought i would love Romantasy!!! You made me a fan!!! 5 ⭐️

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good
Format: Kindle EditionVerified PurchaseThe trigger warnings are a bit more than what's needed IMO. Its a good book but not as triggering as others in this classification. Impatiently waiting the release of the second!
