The Darkness of Aysu: A gripping romantic fantasy perfect for fans of epic stakes, impossible choices, and heart-wrenching tension by Jack Chandler

Killian is not a loyal castle guard. He plans to escape, but when his sadistic Lord Balthazar coerces a marriage agreement from Princess Shanree of Aysu, Killian is dispatched to guard her during the betrothal period and ensure she shows up to her wedding. If he fails, his cousin dies, but Shanree has no intention of marrying a tyrant, and she isn’t the only one desperate to find a way out.
A Darkness lurks in Aysu that will not let her go.
As Killian’s feelings for Shanree grow, what begins as duty twists into something dangerous, forbidden… To save his cousin, he must betray the woman he’s come to love. To save Shanree, he must condemn the only family he has.
And all the while the Darkness is watching, growing in strength, and using every weapon it has to make Killian fail.
Under Balthazar’s rule, Killian sacrificed everything just to survive. Now the Darkness wants what’s left.
