Every year, nine women are taken beyond the walls of the Holy City.
Every year, nine women are sacrificed to the Demon King.
Every year, nine women are lost forever.
This year, Lena Tessyr is chosen.
Determined to escape the fate that claimed her sister, Lena has no intention of becoming a sacrifice on her city’s yearly Offering Day. She wants nothing more than to take her surviving sister and make a new start far from the Holy City and its cruelty. But when her escape plan is thwarted, Lena is taken to the dark city of Shan Iranath, a place where nightmares reign and hope dies.
There, she catches the eye of the Demon King, who claims her as his own. But instead of meeting a quick and grisly end, Lena is plunged into the shadowed city, where secrets unfold all around her. Her beliefs about demons, gods, and the world itself begin to fracture. And greatest among the surprises of the demon city is the king himself.
But Lena’s desire for the king is only outpaced by her growing despair for her family. With her failed escape as a stain on their house, her mother and sister are in danger. She vowed to return for them, and nothing will stand in her way.
Not the walls of the Holy City.
Not the Demon King himself.
Not even a love she never thought possible.
Shadowmarked is a lush fantasy romance filled with shadowed pasts, scarred hearts, and a world where nothing is as it seems. This is a full-length novel that is a massively expanded, rewritten, reimagining of the novella 'The Demon King's Prize' which I originally published in the Big Feels anthology under my other pen name, Stella Frost. If you previously read this story, you'll find the same core story, but with SO MUCH more to love.
