For years after her mother’s passing, Briar Blackbyrne lived in the shadows.
Briar now lives her life completely invisible to the outside world and her father, who rules the kingdom of Daramveer through fear and punishment. The princess of this feared kingdom has a darkness within her that keeps her chained and afraid of losing control.
Being descendants of powerful Gods and Wiitches, Shadow and Lumor Wielders are gifted with magic. Or so some think. When Briar’s mother died, so did her magic, as she vowed to never use her curse again.
When Briar’s brother returns to the kingdom of Daramveer after being away for five years, things begin to change. Unexplained creatures from Briar’s past, ritualistic crystals, and a dark ancient magic begin to surface that should have long been forgotten. When the king announces an arranged marriage, Briar decides to fight for her future and her own hand by entering a number of deadly trials alongside the men fighting for her.
Winning the trials turns into a distant thought, as merely surviving becomes the true test.
Briar would follow those she loves to the darkest realms and further.
But what if she’s lost, unable to find her way back?
Welcome to Isle of the Forgotten, where creatures—darker than ever before—loom in the shadows, and a new evil resides closer than you might think. Briar Blackbyrne’s secret is out, and that who dwells deep within her fights every day to take control.
After an unexpected turn of events that forces Briar and her loved ones to flee Daramveer on board a ship pointing her in a direction she never thought she’d go, she’s forced to accept things are no longer as they seem. Every day and new adventure tests their ability to work together to bring down Carobon, the Great Lumor Witch, who is fighting to rule over all the realms once more.
But, what happens when everything changes? A new kingdom, new threats, and ancient secrets being brought to the surface, cause Briar to question everything about what she thought she knew.
