Kathryn Haggerty never asked for a legacy steeped in blood and ancient magic. All she wanted was a normal life-no monsters, no secrets. But with a pirate father and a mother who's part fairy, part demigod, normal was never an option.

When their ship wrecks off the coast of Romania, Kathryn is thrust into a world she was never meant to escape. Something far worse than shadows has been hunting her.

Auraious Black, the Darkling, is closing in-and he won't stop until she's broken.

Stranded in a land where monsters stalk the forests, war brews in silence, and even her allies may not be what they seem, Kathryn must uncover the truth about her bloodline before the Darkling tears her world apart.

Her powers are awakening, but so is something darker-something that threatens to consume her from within.

She won't surrender. She won't be used. But power has a price. And claiming her legacy may cost her everything.

Some legacies are worth fighting for. Others were never meant to be uncovered.
