Her shadow owns the rest.Darkness poisons Janus’ Vallides past—memories she yearns to forget. She stays within the confines of her room, concealing her secret from the world, kept company by only her books.When the decennial ball arrives, Janus must attend to represent her family, though she’s hopeless at dancing. Her father employs a guide to see her to the palace safely—a charming young man with an easy smile whose every word hides a lie.More than pretty gowns and painted faces await them. Daggers lurk in the night, eager to take Janus’ life. But who sent them? Trapped in an unfamiliar city with few allies, she has only two choices: uncover the mysteries unfolding around her, or die.Worse still are the feelings she’s developed for a man she cannot trust - a man whose fate has been written in the stars: to die by her hand.For fans of Mistborn or One Dark Window comes a romantasy about a young woman who must find the truth in the darkness while she grapples with the weight of her past and grief. less
