Where Shadows Meet
Synopsis
Long ago, a girl named Favre gave up her wings for love. The young goddess Thana, the one she gave them up for, traded that same love for power. Thana's choices brought on a life of eternal night and, later, the destruction of them both.
Favre never recovered. She has waited ever since for the chance to resurrect the girl she loves, the one who made her into the creature she hates.
A thousand years later, Leyla is crown princess of a vampire nation. An attack on the capital leaves her best friend captured, and Leyla must travel to Nekros, the island of the dead, to get her back.
The nearer she gets, the more her own body works against her. Every step risks waking an ancient evil and wrecking everything she holds dear.
The world is still recovering from a war that pitted vampires and humans against the gods who made them. It is a Black sapphic vampire romantasy told through three perspectives, alternating between Favre's past and Leyla's present quest. Loss and self-discovery drive it, and it asks whether people choose their fates or their fates choose them. It opens a planned duology.
