A morally grey FMC who could outsmart, outfight, and shut down anyone who tries to get close." Mandy_lovestoread, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - "This book is a whirlwind of intense, violent battles, a cunning talking panther, and deliciously flirty banter. The chemistry and tension kept me turning pages, and I'm already counting down the days for the next book . If you love high-stakes fantasy romance with fierce characters and unpredictable twists, this is a must-read!" - Emily Kusmier, Goodreads Reviewer Shadows & Secrets began with a single question:  What if Cinderella had been sent to kill the prince? When I started writing Huntyr and Derian's story, I wanted to blend the high-stakes tension of an enemies-to-lovers fantasy with the emotional depth of a truly healthy romance. I wanted to show a relationship built on vulnerability, trust, and encouraging one another to love even the darkest parts of ourselves Huntyr is an assassin forced into a deadly competition among the Fae, and Derian is the storm-wielding Fae prince she was sent to kill. Their story is one of betrayal, redemption, and slow-burn love set against a world divided between mortals and Fae. It's filled with yearning and banter that even had me  blushing while I wrote it! I also wanted this book to capture everything that made me fall in love with the romantasy genre so many years ago. I wanted readers to be so caught up in the found family, romantic tension, and danger that ate-night reading sessions were unavoidable . It's my love letter to stories like Throne of Glass and The Hunger Games that first had me falling in love with this genre. Shadows & Secrets is the first in a trilogy that explores what happens when power, trust, and love collide.  Thank you for stepping into this world with me. I hope Huntyr and Derian's story gives you everything you love about fantasy romance — Arcadia Rayne
