Destiny and darkness collide in this romantic, sweeping new fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo.
Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok's lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna's survival depends on the world believing she is dead.
But that doesn't stop Luna from wanting more. When she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is more treacherous than Luna ever realized.
With every threat stacked against them, Luna and Fowler find solace in each other. But with secrets still unspoken between them, falling in love might be their most dangerous journey yet.

“Effortless fantasy with high romance, Reign of Shadows keeps you intrigued until the final sentence, though there’s a cliffhanger that may leave some unsatisfied. However, character development and pacing make this book and its future sequel must-reads. Luna and Fowler spend most of the book fighting their feelings for one another, and it’s this tension that makes their journey exciting.”

“An exciting and unique fantasy, full of suspense and romance.”
— Jennifer L. Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author“Star-crossed romance smolders.”
— Kirkus Reviews“There’s more than blindness to Luna, and her sightlessness is authentically depicted as an advantage at times and a vulnerability at others. This will appeal to readers drawn to romance.”
— Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books“This dystopian mash-up of ‘Rapunzel’ is jointly narrated by Phoebe Strole and James Fouhey…Strole’s theatrical performance brings drama to Luna’s perspective, especially during the teens’ harrowing experiences with the dwellers. Fouhey takes a more measured tone, highlighting Fowler’s level-headedness and sense of responsibility.”
