To survive, she must first escape his gravity. Elara is the kingdom's greatest weapon: the Obsidian Huntress, a woman whose very touch is poison to the deceitful Fae. Bound by a vicious Blood Debt Curse from the human King Valerius, her mission is simple: infiltrate the treacherous Court of Nyxos and assassinate its High Lord, Kaelen. Failure means not only her death but the annihilation of her entire village. But High Lord Kaelen is not the monster she was promised. He is a master of shadows, infuriatingly charismatic, and dangerously perceptive. Every shared glance feels like a challenge, and the forbidden tension between them threatens to shatter her resolve and condemn her soul. As she closes in on her target, Elara is struck by a truth more volatile than any Fae magic: she is not just a human tool, but the last living member of the legendary Star-Seer lineage, a power capable of razing entire courts. When her mission collapses, Elara finds herself Kaelen's unwilling captive, the Blood Debt still coiled around her heart, and the human king preparing for war. Now trapped in a realm of infinite night and ancient malice, Elara must decide if she will use her newfound power to destroy the Fae who captured her, or join him to save a world that never wanted her. Obsidian Huntress: Grave of Thorns and Stars is the first book in the high-stakes, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance The Shadowed Heart Saga, perfect for readers who crave dangerous Fae, dark court politics, and morally gray heroes.
