A king. A criminal. At least, that is what the world calls them. Luke, the cold and composed ruler of Euthanasia, has spent his life protecting his kingdom from the feared Shadow Puppets — a dangerous organization blamed for countless tragedies. Elyra, the infamous leader of the Shadow Puppets, is everything he was taught to hate: a witch, a fugitive, and a threat to the kingdom. But as secrets unravel and hidden truths begin to surface, Luke starts to question everything he thought he knew about magic, justice, and the war brewing beyond the kingdom walls. Bound by circumstance and drawn together by a dangerous attraction neither of them can afford, the two must navigate a world built on lies before it tears them apart completely.
