Of Shadows Victory
(AVAILABLE IN ALL FORMATS)
In the shadowed halls of Alderia’s ancient keep, loyalty and longing war for supremacy as the kingdom stands triumphant over its foes—yet teeters on the knife’s edge of ruin. Lord Marshall William Stewart, valiant leader of the Black Watch and right hand to King Simeon, guards a perilous secret: a forbidden passion for Princess Feeney, the king’s only daughter. Their love, kindled in moonlit corridors and hidden gardens, threatens to ignite a fire that could consume the realm.
While the banners of victory flutter above Alderia’s battlements, old hatreds smolder in distant lands. From the wild western marches, Lord Darius Blackthorne fans the embers of rebellion, seeking vengeance for ancient wrongs. Beyond the border, the Church’s most relentless hunters—Papal Inquisitors—are drawn by rumors of witchcraft and whispers of devilry, determined to root out heresy at any cost.
As noble houses sharpen their knives in secret, and faith turns brother against brother, William must choose between his sacred duty and the woman who holds his heart. The steel-clad might of the Black Watch will be tested against traitors within and zealots without, even as the love between William and Feeney threatens to bring salvation—or utter ruin—to Alderia itself.
A tale of swords and sorcery, treachery and forbidden love, where the fate of a kingdom hangs upon the courage of two souls. In Alderia, loyalty is a blade, and love may prove the sharpest weapon of all.
