A Sword's Promise (The Shadow and the Sword Duology #1)
Katherine Macdonald

In the land of Auro, where shadows dance and secrets lurk in every corner, the paths of two unlikely souls intertwine in this tale of enemies-to-lovers...
Viola Windbright, knight of the realm, believes she knows the difference between right and wrong. But when she crosses paths with Nicodemus Nightshade, a shadowmancer whose very existence is a crime, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew.
For half his life, Nicodemus has walked the path of vengeance, but meeting Viola forces him to confront the darkness within himself and consider a different future. As their worlds collide, Viola finds herself drawn to the enigmatic shadowmancer, despite the dangers and the forbidden nature of their connection.
Likewise, Nicodemus discovers a spark of warmth and compassion in Viola that challenges his resolve. Amidst their quest for justice and redemption, an undeniable bond begins to form between them. In a realm where the line between good and evil blurs, Viola and Nicodemus must navigate not only the perils that surround them but also the growing attraction that threatens to consume them both.
