Shadows of Gold

Not everything glitters in the city of shadows and gold. Ari and Tib have fled the horrors of Eida, but freedom comes at a cost. The dark remnants they carry are waking, twisting their thoughts and hungering for control. When they reach the glittering shores of Taiatum, they're met not with sanctuary but suspicion. Taiatum's guardians are dying, and unless Ari and Tib expose the real killer, they'll be executed for crimes they didn't commit.

Bound from her magic by ancient runes, Ember has lived the past few years as an outsider. But when the gods reveal a growing power buried within her, she must choose between loyalty to a people who have turned their backs on her or claiming the truth of who she is. If she reclaims her magic and helps Ari and Tib, it could cost her everything–even her home.

On the cliffs of the Starfallen's new home, Graeden anxiously awaits Ari's return while overseeing Isla's imprisonment. When he learns Ari is in danger, he'll risk everything to protect the woman he loves, even if that means trusting the fairy responsible for the slaughter of countless Starfallen.

As the ravaging darkness spreads across the Four Realms, enemies must become allies, fractured hearts must heal, and all must rise to survive the coming storm.
