Maria Del Voscova is a powerful witch with a past. When she’s asked to become a member of the elite Guardians she knows she can’t risk sharing the truth about her messed-up family. But we don’t always get what we want. Sometimes, we don’t always know what we want.
Though Mar absolutely knows she doesn’t want Neeren, King of the Parthen. She alone sees the darkness in him and it reminds her too much of the past. She knows better than to fall for his stoic, tortured soul façade.
She’s training to be a Guardian, a shadow; tasked with keeping the balance between good and evil in the world. It’s what she wants—to be better than her family was.
But the past has a way of catching up to Mar and the future has a morbid sense of humor. On her first mission, she’s kidnapped by the enemy she’s been running from her entire life. Thankfully the guardians look after their own. As it turns out, so does Neeren.
As Mar finds herself caught between the past and the future; between blood and bond; between the light and the dark, she realizes her only chance at surviving may be in trusting a man who is the most dangerous of them all.

Neeren, King of the Parthen finds Maria interesting, he reaches out to her in her dreams taunting her. Maria pushes him away, she can’t fall for him although she knows she is. Neeren knows it too. It all became real when Maria reached out to him for help. He will stop at nothing to help her, including the Guardians.
Interesting and enjoyable read. Great world building and characters. I went into this thinking it was a romance between two people. In fact, there were a lot more characters that had their own story and romance brewing. Lots of interesting twists and surprises.
