Bloodlines and Shadows

I never meant to marry a man I feared, especially when he is my archenemy and captor.
Haunted by the weight of a war she doesn't fully comprehend, Beatrix embarks on a journey to retrieve a powerful artifact to fight the dark sorcerer Malachar.
But when the mission fails and a masked stranger hunts her, Beatrix is ripped from the only world she's ever known.
Captured and forced to remain at the eerie and imposing Astor Hall, Beatrix becomes a pawn in the twisted games of the Purist tradition. There, she unwittingly marries Theodore Astor—a man loyal to Malachar.
As her captivity stretches on, Beatrix finds herself torn between the girl she was and the woman she's becoming.
But nothing is what it seems.
Theo is hiding secrets. His loyalty may be a lie.
And when Beatrix appears to betray her people, the truth is more harrowing than anyone could imagine: she’s no longer in control of her body, or her own heart.
As the war reaches its final hour, Beatrix will have to choose: sacrifice herself to protect the very people she once vowed to fight, or let the darkness consume everything she’s come to love.
