Book One of The Divine Sundering

One kingdom. Two sisters. One fights to save. One fights to rise.

When Pri is arrested for bleeding enemy blue in a kingdom ruled by red, her sister Neve enters Harrows, a brutal academy where mages are bound in blood, trained for spectacle, and forced to fight for the King’s single reward.
If she wins, she can bargain for Pri’s freedom. If she loses, Pri dies in Acrid prison.

But Neve isn’t just hiding her magic. She carries a stolen name, forbidden shadows, and a dangerous bond with flame-wielding slayer Axl Dramadon, whose loyalty might save her, or burn everything she’s sworn to protect.

Meanwhile, in Acrid, a prison carved into the throat of a sleeping volcano, Pri is anything but broken.
Magic-less but not powerless, with bloodlust in her veins and a captor who’s becoming something more, she’s building a future of her own. Not an escape. A throne.

Shadowslayer is a completed 140,000-word adult romantasy and the first in a planned four-book series, blending rebellion, sacrifice, and slow-burn romance. Perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night and the sibling intensity of Arcane.
