Synopsis
Unfathomable power can consume one's morality and fan the flames of destruction. Within those embers, sometimes a tainted soul is reforged into that of a hero.
Kin expected this task to be like all the rest, but the Berylian Key shard has proven exceptionally difficult to find. He enters the Great Library of Capul intent on stealing a rare text that could aid him in his quest. Failure in completing his sworn duty holds greater risk than any prison. But Kin has never been one to pass up an opportunity to make his work easier, and when he meets a fellow thief, Amarie, he sees a chance to benefit off her.
If Amarie had known Kin pursued the same shard, she would have reconsidered the partnership in the library. The spark that ignites between them after a daring escape weakens her resolve to stay focused, in spite of the looming danger if he discovers the truth.
Kin struggles between his growing affection for Amarie and the darkness threatening to swallow him whole. He never saw another path for his life before meeting her, but she could change everything.
Amidst secrets and questionable pasts, Amarie and Kin's fates continuously collide, but for a purpose neither can predict.
Embrace of the Shade is Part 1 in The Berylian Key trilogy, and Book 1 in the Pantracia Chronicles.

Synopsis
Amarie has the power to escape her enemy. If only she knew how to use it...
Alone, she lives a life on the run, unsure how to control her abilities. Seeking her mythical magic, the men who murdered her family will never stop hunting her.
Years spent dodging thugs and unveiling the secrets about her blood have her close to the truth, and stealing an ancient text locked within the Great Library might be the final step. During the daring theft, she meets Kin, a man who turns her world upside down.
Kin regrets the shadowed life he chose. Completing tasks. Fetching artifacts. All for a master as wicked as the deepest hell.
Then he meets Amarie. She shatters the walls he's built, but if she learns he seeks the power that curses her family, he will lose her forever.
Trusting him could risk her life and her heart, but it might be the only way to destroy the world's most sinister evil. Unless Kin's master finds her first...
