The Sorrow of Shadows (Crimson & Shadows, #1)

When the sudden death of the King calls General Breyla Rozaria home from the war, she is welcome by much more than the memory of her late father. His ghost now roams the castle and he's been waiting for her. But Breyla is not only being stalked by ghosts... The young General quickly discovers her mother's engagement to her nemesis, Lord Aurelius, and is none too pleased.

Breyla soon realizes that the King’s death was just the beginning and it’s coming for her next. When those closest to her meet unfortunate fates, she is driven to work with one male she can't stand or trust. Now Breyla is surrounded by more enemies than allies while her loved ones become targets to something far more sinister.

As they work to uncover the forces working against them, Breyla must also confront her growing attraction to the male she’s spent years hating. He’s the one thing she can’t stand; she’s the one thing he can’t have.

Can she set aside her differences and work with Lord Aurelius? Or are the secrets he is keeping far too damning, threatening to ruin everything they have built together thus far?
