Lady Snowlark has vowed to bring peace to Valoria, even if it means allying with the husband she never wanted. But with a volatile king turning his fury against them, enemies close in on every side—and betrayal rises from within her own bloodline.

Her brother Pip, once the boy she would have died to protect, now carries dragon blood. Twisted by his bond to the Ancient, he becomes her greatest threat, obeying when commanded to kill her. To save him—and her kingdom—Lark must make choices where loyalty and love collide, and sacrifice walks hand in hand with destiny.

While Vengeance fights to shield her, his allegiance to the Ancient may yet destroy them both. Together, they must face the dragon in a final reckoning where thrones will fall, hearts will break, and hope will be forged from ruin.

New Star Rising concludes The Shadowlands Trilogy—a romantic epic fantasy of dragons, betrayal, and the unyielding strength of love when darkness demands everything.
