Every Dark Shadow Publisher's summary

Step into a dark, dangerous, intoxicating realm with cinematic world-building. Explore slow-burn romances, epic magic systems, fated bonds, hidden identities, stunning plot twists, and banter that will make you blush. In a kingdom on the brink of rebellion, a fugitive hunted for her bloodline faces twisted memories and rising darkness in pursuit of the truth about who she is and a way to bring down a sinister monarch.

For decades, a tyrant half-breed king has held the Magus throne and kept the magic-born in chains. That's all about to change...

In the mortal world, Ophelia Dannan is withering on a farm in old New York. She spends nights counting stars, avoiding the vigilance of family, and plotting to seize her freedom. But as memories of strange places and times surface, she suspects her life is nothing like it seems.

For four years, three protectors have shepherded Ophelia between mortal and magic realms, twisting her memories to keep a dangerous secret locked inside her safe. But when she slips through their fingers, crumbling their scheme, it propels them straight into danger.

As he king's armies give chase and a dark force rises to further threaten Magus, the four are forced to seek the truth of Ophelia's identity. Loyalties, love, and sacred friendships unraveling, they must face the fears and feelings that fester—and a powerful new enemy no one’s certain how to conquer—or they and their kingdom may fall into darkness.

Enjoyed by readers who loved A Court of Thorns and Roses, Shadow and Bone, Mistborn, Fourth Wing, and Throne of Glass. If you love a strong, clever heroine like Nynaeve meets Jo March, fell to your knees for the Darkling, and need an anti-hero that brings Kylo Ren energy, the Whispers of Dust & Darkness series will have you obsessed!
