"Ebonshade"
Book One of the "Nocturn of the Forgotten" Series
In a world where the night hides more than shadows, Celestia Aldaine accidentally stumbles into a city that shouldn't exist-Noxbourne, a cursed place that awakens only after sunset and vanishes with the first rays of dawn. Trapped in its otherworldly beauty and treacherous secrets, she quickly realizes that this city is no dream. It is a prison, and escape is impossible.
Worse yet, everyone she left behind-her family, her friends, her entire existence-no longer remembers her. The life she once lived is fading, and soon, even her own memories might slip through her fingers.
But Noxbourne is not empty. Its people-Umbrosians, a cursed species tethered to eternal night-are bound by their own rules and a deadly history. At the center of it all is Caelum Velyne, a dark and enigmatic ruler whose piercing blue eyes hold mysteries as deep as the shadows themselves. From the moment their paths collide, tension crackles between them like fire and ice.
In this thrilling tale of forbidden love, ancient curses, and hidden truths, "Ebonshade" will transport you into a world where light is the enemy, love is a dangerous gamble, and the night never truly ends
