The first book in the brand new Captive of Shadows Series.
Love. Joy. Anticipation.
That’s what your wedding day is supposed to be filled with...but not mine.
I’ve never seen my future husband or even heard his voice. I only know that long ago, my father made a vow, and now, I have to fulfill it. They say Kane is a monster, with sharp clawed hands and hoofed feet. They say he’s cruel, violent, and likely to kill me before the end of my first night.
They say...a lot of things.
So when my future husband arrives to collect his debt, I’m terrified of the fate awaiting me.
But not everything is as it seems.
Yes, he is cruel - but he’s also complicated, seductive, and holding secrets of his own. And each day that passes, something wild and passionate stirs between us. Every look, every whisper, and I find myself falling further into the shadows. Not that I expected any different.
After all, my new husband is the King of the Underworld....
A Brand-New Series from author Bailey Dark...enter the dark, seductive world of Kane, Master of Shadows and King of the Underworld. If you loved the Mated to the Fae King series, get ready for your new obsession!

Story
My college roommate is the worst. Cecile steals my food, brings guys over at all hours, and parties instead of studying. But those quirks pale in comparison to what she does next. She drugs me, and I wake up imprisoned in an alternate universe full of terrifying creatures. Now, the biggest and scariest creature of all - a fae king - believes I'm his mate. He's freed me from the dungeon but keeps me close. So close, in fact, that I'm beginning to like his wintery gaze and ice-chiseled body.

Some people are ordained for greatness. Those people usually have a lot of drama in their life. Drama I happily do without. I live in a forgotten corner of nowhere for a reason: there is safety in anonymity. I have enough problems just trying to get by. But when Kieran, a sinfully sexy demigod at the pinnacle of power, crashes into my life, suddenly my whole world is turned upside down. He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance. He also wants me with a passion.

I’d trained my entire life to take over the hunter guild. When the unthinkable happened, my father was taken, and I was forced to step up. The moment I took control, everything began to unravel around me. The transition should have gone smoothly, and it would have if Kieran Knight hadn’t shown up. He’s an egotistical maniac with a secret agenda and a psychotic need to possess and control me. There’s one thing Kieran didn’t count on, though. No one owned me. There’s too much at stake to allow myself to be influenced or for him to stand in my way.

I am the heat that stirs her flesh, the longing that trembles her bone. She begs her body to refuse, to escape my embrace, but I am her master, the puppeteer of passion. I am the King of Flesh and Bone. Welcome to my court, little one.

A vampiress whose blood will quench me. The hunt is on. If I don’t find her soon, I’ll be put down like a rabid dog, leaving my throne to my greatest enemy: my rival by blood. And that can’t happen.

Zakara saves not one, but three men locked inside the tallest tower. Her first instinct is to ditch them as soon as possible, but they have one thing that intrigues her more than wealth: Magic. Fae magic once ruled the world, until it disappeared without a trace. Only myths of the magic wielders linger in their destroyed society.

Story
If life really was a fairy tale, Zakara would never be the damsel in distress. She'd be a thief, and Prince Charming wouldn't have a clue how to steal the heart of the conniving criminal. Zakara saves not one, but three men locked inside the tallest tower. Her first instinct is to ditch them as soon as possible, but they have one thing that intrigues her more than wealth: Magic. Fae magic once ruled the world, until it disappeared without a trace. Only myths of the magic wielders linger in their destroyed society.

Most people avoid the dreaded Whitechapel district. For Honoria Todd, it's the last safe haven. But at what price? Blade is known as the master of the rookeries - no one dares cross him. It's been said he faced down the Echelon's army single-handedly, that ever since being infected by the blood craving he's been quicker, stronger, almost immortal. When Honoria shows up at his door, his tenuous control comes close to snapping. She's so...innocent. He doesn't see her backbone of steel - or that she could be the very salvation he's been seeking.

Story
My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

Story
The deal is simple: spend a month with a mysterious billionaire who is the owner of Louisiana’s La Petite Mort Casino, and he’ll forget my father’s gambling debts. If it means saving our family home and business, I’ll do anything. With his strong, sexy, take charge arrogance, Nicolas Dupont is a mystery to me. But it doesn’t matter how hot he is. This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me. I’m certainly not about to fall for a guy who thinks he can own me.

Promises, Duties, Love, and Hate
Promised to the Shadow King begins with a promise of Briar to wed the Shadow King, Kane. However, a promise of a daughter was not define to the deal made by Kane and Briar's father. Kane felt he was tricked and promised Briar's father that he will break her.
Briar was tasked with a duty to kill Kane for wrong that was done to her father. The story shows the complexity of both Kane and Briar's characters. Both made promises yet in some ways, both are also looking for some hints or clues of they could trust each other despite their duties where one is to kill and the other to break the other spirit.
The narrator, Isabella Tugman, gave Briar, innocence. She is a pawn used by her father, who felt he was wronged by Kane. She is duty-bound to find and learn as much as she can about Kane. The narrator gave Kane, a responsibilities of a leader, a king and since Kane is Death, he is always brooding and distrustful of mortals. Each characters is recognizable and has their own individualism.
Although this book is short, there are just so much complexity of Briar and Kane's characters. There are times that I can't figure if Kane is willing to hurt Briar or that he cares for her while Briar has three months to find a window of opportunity to kill Kane and yet she feels something for him.
It is a love and hate relationship of which will win out. There seems that there are more to the story than is being told. I definitely want to find out what happens next.
I was given this audiobook by the author. I have decided voluntary to write an unbiased review. I was not compensated or influence in any way for writing this review.

Great read!
This was my first book by Bailey Dark, and it did not disappoint. The story is well written and just draws you into the drama of Kane and Briar. It's very interesting and different than anything I've read before. I can wait to see what happens next.

Needs some polishing and some kind of resolution .
The book starts out with huge promise. Youngest daughter is promised to the king of Death for keeping her mom alive years ago. Kane discovers the deceit because it’s Briar instead of Rose he expects. And it goes down hill from there. There’s no communications and everyone keeps telling her she worthless and beats up on her. For a girl on a mission (what is it. Who knows because we are never told), who’s been trained she sure doesn’t show it except once. It’s a basic damsel in distress with lots of lip licking and short sentences with repetitive words. I think face was used in 5 short sentences in a row. Things like this just get to me. Several sentences could have been combined into two cohesive sentences. It happens several times during the books. Briar acts like she has back bone but always falls apart at the first sign of trouble. And then it just ends. Not even a cliffhanger. Just the end with no resolution whatsoever.
The narrator makes this book better. I honestly think it would have been a dnf if I had to read it.
