    "description": "A debut fantasy romance filled with hope after heartbreak, secrets, and betrayal, as a dancer-turned-spy must decide how far she will go to secure her freedom\n\nMy protector is gone, revealed to be a monster. But I remind myself that I am not a damsel. I\u2019m no princess bound within a tower.\n\nI am a shadow.\n\nVasalie Moran was once a dancer in King Illian\u2019s court, until he framed her for murder. Barely surviving her two years in the dungeons, she\u2019s suddenly called to face her king. He offers her a deal: become his spy at the six-week royal Gathering and he\u2019ll grant her freedom.\n\nAs Illian\u2019s orders grow bloody and dangerous, forcing her to harm and betray those around her, Vasalie discovers that the monster she serves may be aligned with a bigger monster\u2014one far closer to home. With her world threatened, Vasalie enlists the help of Illian\u2019s brother and greatest adversary, the infamous King of the East.\n\nAs the rivalry between brothers escalates, with Vasalie caught in the middle, the horrifying truth of her past comes to light. If she wants to survive, she must decide who to trust, who to fight for, and how much of her soul she\u2019s willing to damn in the process.",
