Shades of Obsidian

Bargains, betrayals, and . . . broken bonds?

No one survives the death-hunt—or so Jessa Caldwell learns during her ordeals in the Otherworld. When an unknown enemy sends this ancient evil to end her, only the intervention of fae arbiter Riven keeps her from sharing the fate of its other victims.

Yet the destructive force of the hunt leaves Riven fatally injured, and Jessa must determine what she will sacrifice to spare his life.

Her costly choice plunges her into the heart of court politics and power plays, drawing her further into the coils of those who would use her for their own ends. As circumstances close about her, Jessa accepts a seemingly impossible commission: find the forces responsible for an act that threatens to plunge rival courts into war.

Isolated from those she loves and betrayed by tentative allies, Jessa must decide who she’s willing to become and what price she’s willing to pay to uncover the truth. If she fails in her charge, the monarchs will act, shattering the fragile peace between courts—and worlds—once more.
