Evangeline's ShadowUpdated at Jul 1, 2023, 07:37
Evangeline hasn't had the best life: she was born out of wedlock to a shifter mother and a seraphim father. At 6 years old, she received her wolf - and wings also. She's a rare mix of two races. But the doctrine of her father's family, the Marquisate of Tessen, anyone with wings belongs to them. Forcibly removed from her mother's loving arms at only 6 years old, Evangeline became the hidden shame of the Tessen family, abused and neglected. As she grows, though, she refuses to let this be her entire life. At 18, she has a firm, secret relationship with her mother's family, and she's become proficient with her seraphim powers as well as her shifter side. Out one night on her own, she encounters a man in trouble and helps him. Once he opens his eyes, her wolf announces he is her mate. Not only that, she realizes he's a shade - a member of the royal family.
Prince Jordan Montano is the heir apparent - but all the nobles mock and belittle him when they think he can't hear. Growing up, he fought off countless assassination attempts, one of which rendered him mute. He also inherited traits from both his parents: the ability to control shadows from his shade father, the King of Trevellia, as well as a colorless world and world-bending magic from his deity mother. But during one assassination attempt in the other city, Jordan ends up finding his solia - his sun, the center of his world. Finally he can see color and feel things he's never felt before - but she runs off before they can complete their mating.Can Evangeline overcome her distrust and fear long enough to embrace the new family - and the new life - she's being offered?
