Thread of Bones (The Shadewarden Saga #1)

Death of a loved one leaves Asvoria Falk as the only living Shadewarden.

After her mothers murder, Asvoria Falk, or Vor to her friends, inherits the crown along with the power to wield darkness and raise the dead. But the magic truly belongs to someone else: the Shadow, an ancient, formless being that now shares Vor’s mind and body.

With her mother’s killer still on the loose, the new queen must learn to work with the Shadow and harness her abilities to track down the assassin. Easier said than done with Trygg, the infuriating dragon prince of ?ldin, taking up residence in her castle.

Tensions are high with the dragon guards after they failed to protect Vors mother, and Trygg is as dangerous as he is charming. Vor soon finds control of her magic weakens whenever the prince is around. A failing that could bring doom to them all.

Her home becomes a battleground of clan politics, dangerous attractions, and attacks from demons that threaten to topple the queendom. With the assassin looming ever closer, Vor will have to trust the dragons—and herself—to keep her people safe.
