Awakened By the Shadow King by Bailey Dark

Briar:
I am the bride of Death.
The road ahead is still unknown. There are questions that need answers and I find myself with very few allies. I carry a blade which bears a burden no one else could ever understand. And Kane looks at me with eyes brimming with lust and something I’m too afraid to dwell on. But I swore to my father that I would right the wrongs that had been done. Can I kill the man that haunts my dreams and makes me wish for a world where destiny does not dictate our path? Or will I fall victim to the monster that lurks beneath the surface of his icy facade?

Kane:
I am darkness and damnation.
Something hides inside of Briar, something I yearn to taste. I’ve never seen such a lethal beauty. I cannot allow her to distract me. Our journey takes us through the territories of the Underworld as we battle against creatures of mythos in search for Drogaem’s crown. With each step toward our destination, I feel a darkness trying to lure me deeper into the shadows. Will it be the secrets I conceal that lead to my demise? Or will the temptation of the crown’s power be my undoing?
