Mirror of Shadows

Part of the Seven Legends of the Shattered Empire, a multi-author interconnected standalone series

Lenora Briar, eldest daughter of a powerful witch bloodline, is about to marry the warlock Eres Windguard…until she watches him poison her father in hopes of stealing her inherited magic. Told to run, Lenora escapes across the shadowed province of Galdra, discovering just how far Eres’s influence has reached. Hunted and alone, she stumbles into Dark Hollow—a stretch of witch territory reserved for exiles—only to be cornered by the very warlock she is fleeing. It’s there that she’s saved by the last person she should trust: Bryant Rinemoore, a human farmer known for his hatred of witches.

To survive, Lenora buries her bloodline and her magic, pretending to be the mute human governess hired to care for Bryant’s two children. It is meant to be temporary—just a hiding place until her mother summons her home and Eres is dealt with. But as the days pass and no summons comes, Lenora grows restless, finding herself drawn to the very man who would never forgive her if he knew what she truly is. Bryant’s touch is as dangerous as Eres’s magic—slow, consuming, and impossible to resist. And when Eres finally comes for what he believes is his, Lenora must decide whether to keep hiding or to claim her magic and shatter the lies that have been protecting her. Because if Bryant learns the truth, she will not only lose her safety…she will lose him too.

Mirror of Shadows is one of seven installments in the Seven Legends of the Shattered Empire series and is a spicy adult romantasy for those who love slow burns, hidden identities, and forbidden love.
