The final thrilling installment in the intoxicating Captive of Shadows Series by author Bailey Dark!

Briar

The silence of evil penetrates even the thickest of castle walls.

The war is brewing as I watch Kane undergo tortures the human mind barely grasps. He clings to the last bit of strength he has. Drogaem taunts me, controls me, and the only thing that is mine...is my mind. Within me, my soul intertwines with a Goddess whose depths have spanned a thousand years and more.

She pushes me. She shows me, and my powers begin to grow stronger. The little human that once graced the steps of the Underworld, fearful and hell-bent on vengeance, is no more. I am a woman, a warrior, and though revenge is still my priority, my eyes are no longer set on Death himself.

Instead, I have a new foe - a dead king risen again.

But he grows weary of waiting, and his nefarious plans build closer to home.

Kane

The screams echo through my soul, awakening the beast within me.

I watch her, touch her, protect her, but Briar is no longer what we thought. She radiates with power and beauty, and her vengeance rivals even my own. Drogaem is easily tricked, but his thirst for control drives him beyond my games. His desire for revenge on his long-lost love drives him closer to my Briar.

We stand alone in the ghostly halls, facing an army wrapped in dark magic.

If I don't protect her, Briar will die, and with her, my soul will wither.

I have the power to fight, but Briar holds the key to save all realms and all beings from annihilation. The troops are gathering in the fields, and my Kingdom crumbling.

Time is running out.

Only she can save us...but who will save her?
