Sometimes the shadows whisper.

When Wendy’s parents made a bargain with a Fate to save her from a deathly illness as a child, they thought the terms were simple: Marry her off before her twentieth birthday or else deliver her over to the Shadow Keeper.
But when a Mating Mark appears on Wendy’s skin, finding a husband becomes a tad more complicated. After all, no one wants a wife mated to another man.
As Wendy’s twentieth birthday approaches and she’s yet to find a man who will take her, she and her parents throw a masquerade ball in a last ditch effort to free her from her curse.
But nothing is as it seems, and when disaster strikes, Wendy must choose between running from the shadows and embracing them.
