Silver and Shadow

“One steals to survive. The other kills to protect. In a kingdom of lies, the truth is a blade of silver.”

In the sprawling, soot-stained streets of Oakhaven, Lyra is a ghost. Known as ‘The Silver Fox,’ she is the city’s most elusive thief, capable of slipping through shadows and cracking any lock. But Lyra has a secret: she can manipulate metal, a forbidden ‘Silver-gift’ that would see her executed if the Inquisition ever found out.

Her luck runs out when she is caught breaking into the Royal Vault—not by the guards, but by Kaelen, the Shadow-Sworn Captain of the King’s Guard. Kaelen is a man of darkness, bound to the throne by a curse that allows him to command the very shadows Lyra hides in.

Instead of the gallows, Kaelen offers her a suicide mission: help him infiltrate the lost Citadel of Moonstone to retrieve a relic that can stop a brewing ancient war. As they travel beyond the city walls, Lyra and Kaelen discover that their powers are two sides of the same coin. But in a world where silver burns and shadows swallow, the greatest danger isn’t the monsters they hunt—it’s the secrets they keep from each other.

Light blinds. Darkness consumes. Only the Silver remains.
