Description
Chloe has been living a lie: by day she’s a quiet Book Nookery clerk, and by necessity she can instantly shift into a black cat—an ability she uses to evade supernaturals who bully the unclaimed. But when the mysterious, dangerously controlled elven king Noctus uncovers her secret, the truth hits even harder: Chloe is a shadow, a legendary, nearly extinct subtype of human magic designed to counter elves.
Keeping Chloe inside Calor Villa should solve the problem—until a half-elf stalker escalates, manipulating the warring Seelie and Unseelie Courts and dragging Chloe into their violence. As Noctus’s household (Charon, Ker, and Aristide) begins training Chloe to survive like a true shadow, Chloe discovers that her powers aren’t “weak” at all—they’re built for stealth, impossible escapes, and assassins’ precision. Then the enemy makes the cruelest move: Chloe’s siblings are kidnapped to lure her—and to expose Noctus. Chloe must choose between the safety of Noctus’s hidden people and the family she refuses to abandon.
