The Sorrow of Shadows by Morgana Black

News of the king’s sudden passing has reached the battlefields, and General Breyla Rozaria is determined to avoid attending her father’s funeral by any means necessary. But when news arrives concerning her mother’s engagement to Lord Aurelius—the man she hates the most—returning home becomes unescapable.

Breyla soon realizes the king’s death was just the beginning, and something far more sinister is coming for her next. Now surrounded by more enemies than allies, she has no choice but to work with Lord Aurelius and unravel the mysteries surrounding the evil placing targets on her loved ones’ heads.
But her desire for Lord Aurelius grows, even though he’s the one thing she can’t stand, and she’s the one thing he can’t have. If they could put aside their differences, they might be the only ones capable of saving the kingdom from its terrible fate.
