A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows – by Holly Renee
Book 1 in the Stars and Shadows series

Destiny or desire? Allegiance or temptation?
When duty demands her heart, she must choose which kingdom to betray.

Chosen to wed the crowned prince, Adara’s future is written in the stars—her marriage will secure peace and shape the fate of the realm. But it isn’t her betrothed who ignites her blood. It’s the half-breed prince who stands in the shadows, eyes like sin and words like temptation.

He is everything she has been warned against: forbidden, dangerous, intoxicating.
And when his touch feels like fate, every vow she’s sworn begins to crumble.

As the kingdom stands on the brink of war, Adara is torn between the light she was born to protect and the darkness that calls to her soul. Lies, bloodlines, and betrayal weave a web she may never escape—and one choice could cost her the world.
