Light in the Shadows: Shadow and Ash Vol. 1.5

Princess Aria Elway has never known a moment of true freedom. Created to restore the Fallen to their former glory, Aria's entire existence has been carefully controlled by her father, King Adriel Elway. His obsession with breaking the Fallen curse has forced Aria to become a dangerous weapon in order to usher in a new age for her people.

As another Dark War rapidly approaches, Aria's pre-determined path lays before her. Duty demands she sacrifice her magic to end the curse before her father marries her off for political gain. As the bars to her cage closes in, she struggles to find peace with the choices made for her.

With time running out, Aria must decide to accept her fate or make a stand against her father.

A prequel to the Shadow and Ash series by Emily Grey, this novel explores the life before Aria found herself without her memories, locked in a mysterious dome in the forest.
