Child of Grief

Shadow Series, Book 1

By: T. N. Hayden

Narrated by: Louise Cooksey's voice replica

Grief made her powerful. Shadow Lord made her dangerous.

Gianna Russell watched her father die when she was six years old—his murder bound to white fire, royal magic, and a war the world insists is over. Taken into Shadow World, she was trained alongside six other children to become something more than human… and far more lethal.

Now grown, Gianna leads a daring abduction that captures the heirs of two kingdoms—including a crown prince who was never meant to be part of the plan. Lachlan Asimar is honorable, unbreakable, and far too human to be just another pawn.

As Gianna’s mission begins to fracture under the weight of buried truths, forbidden desire, and conflicting loyalties, she is forced to confront the cost of her vengeance—and the lie at the heart of everything she believes.

In a world where grief births monsters and shadows remember everything, Child of Grief is a dark fantasy romance filled with political intrigue, dangerous magic, and a slow-burning collision between enemy and fate.
