I was manipulated by the Jester. I fell for the Fae Lord. But if we are to survive what is to come, then I am going to have to become The Harlequin.
My name is Alana Leafborne, and my destiny hangs by a thread. Divided between light and shadow, I stand torn between a choice that will shape the fate of Luminael. The power within me grows stronger each day, a double-edged sword that could save our kingdom or destroy it. As Finn's army of transformed Shadowkind marches on the castle, our alliances threaten to shatter and loyalties are tested. With Eldrion at my side and magic beyond my imagining at my fingertips, I must decide what kind of ruler I want to be—and what sacrifices I'm willing to make. In a world where trust is a luxury and power corrupts, can I resist the call of the darkness that whispers promises of vengeance? Or will I become the very thing I've sworn to destroy?
