Description
My entire life, I’ve feared the Darkwings.
Shadow-wielding monsters with red eyes who flay the skin from the bones of any magical being that dare cross their path. A story Lightlace witches told to their children to ensure they didn't stray. Be good, or the Darkwing will steal your magic.
But that’s all it was. A nightmare. A legend.
Until I meet him.
Vane.
Born in darkness, enshrouded by shadows. He is on the hunt, searching for something that could alter the very fabric of my family’s magic. If I was smart, I would run in the other direction.
But I was born in darkness too.
Under a solar eclipse, robbing me of the Lightlace magic I so desperately wished I had. The magic my family punishes me for not possessing.
Darkness is something I’ve become accustomed to, calling to me like an old friend, but if I’m not careful, I could vanish in Vane’s shadows forever.
The Darkwings are real, and I may have just found the most dangerous one of them all.
The Darkwing Duet is an 18+ new adult dark fantasy romance series. Please read the trigger warning in the beginning of the book before deciding to read this series. Your mental health is more important!
Featured Reviews
Loved this from start to finish. I adore the main characters, as well as some of the (still important) side characters. I don't feel like anything was missing from this book, but I'm yearning for more just because of how much I enjoyed it. There's forbidden romance, shadow shifters, who did this to you? an FMC without any magic, and just a splash of spice that will leave you wanting more. Trigger warning for self harm and parental abuse. I can't wait for the next book!
The story was well written and was interesting from the first few chapters. I can’t wait for the conclusion of the story! Yes, there is trauma. There’s also shadow daddy energy, “ touch her and d!e” vibes and forbidden love. It was not super spicy, but there was a storyline to build.
