“A delicious fantasy full of tension, treachery, and highly addictive romance.” ―Stephanie Garber, # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Caraval

Chrysantha Stathos has won.
By hiding her intelligence and ambition behind the mask of a beautiful air-headed girl, she has become a wealthy duchess. And, once her elderly husband dies, she will have all the freedom, money, and safety she’s ever wanted.

Or so she thought.
A man claiming to be the estranged grandson of Chrysantha’s lecherous late husband has turned up to steal her inheritance. To make matters worse, her little sister is going to be queen and is rubbing it in her face.

Chrysantha decides that the only thing to do is upstage Alessandra at her own wedding. And as for this grandson, he has to go. Never mind that he’s extremely handsome and secretive with mysterious powers . . . No, Chrysantha wants Eryx Demos dead, and in the end, a Stathos girl always gets what she wants.

The Darkness Within Us is a wickedly delightful companion novel to Tricia Levenseller's The Shadows Between Us.

“Started this book thinking “where is the fantasy” but it came out and so did the romance. Cried at the ending. Love prevailed and so did sibling love ♥️♥️”
Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“Quick cute read. I always think I hate the men in these and at the last second they changed their minds and I end up liking them lol.”
“Honestly even better than the first book in my opinion. I liked the FMC in this book so much. Honestly the whole thing was just such a good time and a quick read. I like this authors writing style a lot as well. This book has enemies to lovers and forced proximity which are two of my favorite tropes.”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes““I love you. I fought loving you, but it as inevitable as the sun rising every day. You are my equal in nearly every way and my superior in all the rest.” UGH you’re joking!!!! This is Bridgerton meets beauty and the beast with fantasy mixed in. Easy to read and wildly entertaining! It’s fade to black spice so don’t expect descriptive scenes.”
