THE PRISONER OF THE SHADOW KING They called me a murderer. The night my family was slaughtered, I was the only one left alive. Three days later, I was sentenced to life inside Blackthorn Prison—a fortress no prisoner has ever escaped. But Blackthorn isn't an ordinary prison. Something is sleeping beneath its walls. Something that knows my name. And the terrifying Shadow King who rules this place seems to know me too. Kael Draven is ruthless, mysterious, and feared by every prisoner inside Blackthorn. He claims I have been here before. I don't remember him. I don't remember the prison. And I certainly don't remember the strange visions of myself standing beside him beneath a blood-red moon. Then the shadows begin whispering to me. “You've died three times, Elara.” “This is your fourth life.” Now I must survive a prison filled with monsters, uncover who murdered my family, and discover why the Shadow King has been protecting me. Because Kael says I'm not imprisoned for what I did. I'm imprisoned for what I am. And if I escape Blackthorn— the world will end.
