A Dawn Of Onyx By Kate Golden - The Sacred Stones Trilogy Book 1

A Dawn of Onyx By Kate Golden – Book One in The Sacred Stones Trilogy

Captured by a king of darkness. Forced to find the light within.

When Arwen Valondale offers herself in place of her brother, she never expects to be dragged into the shadows of the Onyx Kingdom—a land ruled by dark magic, ancient forests, and the ruthless Onyx King himself. Now a captive, Arwen must use her rare healing magic to serve the very kingdom that threatens everything she loves.

Her only hope of escape? A maddening fellow prisoner who’s as mysterious as he is infuriating—and who might be hiding more than just secrets behind his sharp tongue and sharper smile. But in a realm where deception thrives, trust is dangerous… and desire, even more so.

As dark forces close in, Arwen must face treacherous royals, mythical beasts, and the ancient power slumbering inside her. Because within her lies a spark—one that could either save her life… or set the world ablaze.
