Under the Wings of Shadowlight
Book Three of the Destinies Entwined in Shadows series
By Everett Vale
An epic fantasy of love, power, and fate—where shadowlight magic walks the edge between ruin and redemption.
In the haunted ruins of Vaelwyth, a city once ruled by gods and undone by magic, Eira, a powerful mage bound to the forbidden art of shadowlight, finds herself tasked with retrieving a prisoner—Rhys, a former zealot of the Shadowborn with secrets carved into his soul.
What begins as necessity twists into something far more dangerous: a fragile bond built on distrust, survival, and the weight of a prophecy that promises betrayal.
As ancient forces stir and twisted remnants of a forgotten war rise from beneath the stone, Eira and Rhys must navigate a crumbling world where magic is sentient, memories shift, and fate is both weapon and curse. The prophecy is no longer a whispered warning—it is alive, changing, and demanding sacrifice.
Will love endure the truth? Or will fate unravel everything they’ve become?
If you love:
Enemies-to-lovers with emotional depth
Dark fantasy worlds infused with sentient magic
Prophecies that don’t play fair
Slow-burn romance with tragic intimacy
Foundations for epic final battles
...then Under the Wings of Shadowlight will capture you—and leave you breathless for the war to come in Book Four: The Song of Two Worlds.
