Where Shadows Meet

The dark and thrilling Black sapphic vampire romantasy that questions what it truly means to sacrifice for love.

＂This is a lush, intoxicating read, packing tender romance alongside vicious twists. My new obsession!＂ - Mark Oshiro, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anger is a Gift and Into the Light

You have no idea what I’ve done for love. Just as you have no idea what you may one day do.

Once long ago, a girl named Favre sacrificed her wings for love. Thana, the young goddess she so willingly gave them up for, sacrificed that same love for power. But everything has a cost.

Favre never got over the loss of her wings. And Thana’s choices led to a life of eternal night, and later, their destruction. Favre has bided her time ever since, waiting for the chance to resurrect the girl she loves who turned her into the creature she hates.

Now, a thousand years later, Leyla, the crown princess of a vampire nation, must travel to Nekros, the island of the dead, when her best friend is captured during an attack on her nation’s capital. But nothing is as it seems. The closer she gets to her goal, the more she risks awakening an ancient evil and destroying everything she holds dear.

Set in the aftermath of a war between vampires, humans, and the gods that created them, Patrice Caldwell’s devastatingly romantic fantasy debut, Where Shadows Meet, centers the heart-wrenching pain of loss and the struggle of self-discovery to ask: do we choose our fates, or do our fates choose us?

＂A feast for the senses. Love, friendship, loss, and the fantastic... it’s all here in exquisite, vivid detail. A brilliant addition to the dark fantasy genre.＂ - Kalynn Bayron, New York Times bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead and Sleep Like Death
