The shadows whispered his name long before I knew him, a curse and a promise intertwined.

I never imagined that the man I was destined to fight would be the one to steal my heart. As the Guardian of the Verdant Spear, I've spent my life training to protect my kingdom and prove that I'm more than just the daughter of legends. But when I crossed into the Gloomwood, I met Tristan—a knight cursed to eternal darkness, and my sworn enemy.

Forced to ally with the very man I was meant to destroy, I find myself battling not just the deadly forces of darkness but also the growing desire between us. Tristan is everything I've been taught to fear, yet I can't deny the connection that binds us—one that grows stronger with every challenge we face together.

Our love is dangerous, and could be the key to breaking our curses. Torn between the call of my heart and the weight of my duty, I'm forced to confront the truth: our love might be the only thing that can save us, but it could also be our undoing.

As the line between light and shadow blurs, I wonder: will our forbidden love shatter the curse—or doom us all?

The Spear and the Shadow is a clean fantasy romance with more action than intimacy and a happily ever after.
