Shadow Kingdom

For generations, the crown of the Mansy family has ruled through an ancient magic: royal shadows that can spy, protect, and kill, and Chronicle Marks—glowing symbols that reveal a person’s fate under moonlight. Power is simple: the king commands the shadows, the marks confirm who belongs where, and servants stay small and silent. Until one servant refuses to stay small. Chandy Sharman, a quiet palace girl who works too hard and avoids everyone, is hiding two impossible truths: • she was born with two marks—one tied to the royal bloodline, and one to a forgotten people who could command shadow before the first crown was ever forged; • and a living, rogue shadow has chosen her. When the king’s own shadow breaks from his control and bows to Chandy instead, the kingdom’s oldest magic shudders. The Castle Bell—an artifact that only rings for death, heirs, or destiny-shifting events—thunders through the night. In a heartbeat, Chandy becomes the most dangerous person in the palace: too powerful to ignore, too inconvenient to acknowledge, and far too alive to quietly kill. Caught between a paranoid king, a sharp-eyed queen, an heir who refuses to be silent, and a palace full of servants with their own loyalties and grudges, Chandy is forced to decide: • Will she be the weapon the crown tries to use? • The threat it tries to erase? • Or the new power the shadows have already chosen?
