House of Hyrax #1
The Rose in the Shadows
No memories. A mark from a god. And a dragon prince sworn to hate her.
Theadora Moore collapses outside the palace of Athenia with no memory of who she was. But her magic—and the mark on her chest—prove she’s the last living Descendant of Hyrax, the God of the Dead.
Thrown into the ruthless world of court politics by Prince Clayton Vail, Thea quickly becomes a target of dark forces that want her dead. With danger closing in and nowhere to turn, she’ll have to decide whether to trust the prince… or let her powers consume her.
In a palace full of secrets, survival is far from guaranteed.
The Rose in the Shadows blends Game of Thrones intrigue with Percy Jackson magic, perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash, Red Queen, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night.
Includes: forbidden love, a dragon-shifter prince, an Anastasia-coded heroine, god-marked magic, and one very slow burn.
