Shadows So Cruel by Liv Zander (Paperback)

The full-length conclusion to Liv Zander’s Court of Ravens duet — a why-choose dark fantasy romance where the villains do it better, and two do it better than one.

More painful than love are the secrets that bind and divide. Adrift beneath a sky shadowed by war, the two morally grey raven shifters ache for the woman who fled them. They shattered her heart, and in return she unfurled her wings and slipped their talons, escaping on pure white feathers. Now they want her back, and on that one point they are utterly united: she will be theirs.

But they remain divided in everything else. One soars over the battlements haunted by past mistakes, vowing never to repeat them, chasing something like redemption. The other storms through walls of stone and hatred, desperate to break the shackles of his own past and determined to bind her to him instead — forever. As loyalties tear, friendships are tested and war closes in, she’s caught once more between their shadows, forced to reckon with what she truly wants amid their secrets, their obsession and their twisted plans.

This is the second half of a duet and completes the two-part story with a hard-won happy-ever-after. It contains dark elements, violence and themes some may find disturbing; please take care if these affect you, and check the author’s warnings.

Perfect for readers who love why-choose dark romantasy, morally black love interests, obsessive villains and a duet that pays off its darkness in full.
