The Wolf and Her Shadows

The Nightshadow's Legacy Series, Book 1

By Cass Matthews

When she's a 'prince', but calls you "Your Majesty" while on her knees.

It all starts with a bounty notice.

A surname that seems vaguely familiar, a sketch of one of the most beautiful women Vannaria has ever laid eyes on, and the promise of enough gold to change one’s life.

Only, Mariane is nothing like Vannaria had expected, and what begins as a daring escape from a group of mercenaries, soon turns into more when secrets are revealed and a tentative trust is formed between the two women.

Vannaria is not only the former heir to the fallen Kingdom of Amzarath, The Shadow Prince, but she’s also a Fragmented Soul, sharing her mind and body with two other fragments- Rayne and Aren. As the sole survivor of the kingdom’s destruction, and the last remaining Nightshadow Elf, the trio have vowed to seek vengeance on those responsible for the massacre of their people.

Desperate to escape an arranged marriage to a cruel prince, Mariane had fled her father’s estate with no coin, no plan…and no magic. Left only with her ability to shapeshift into a wolf, at the cost of immense pain, all she wants is to return to her true home, in Farwen Forest. Yet, when Vannaria makes an offer to help her get revenge on the men who’ve hurt her, it’s one she finds herself unable to refuse.

Will both women be able to claim the vengeance they seek? Or will their lives be cut short before they’ve even truly begun?
