I wasn't born a serial killer. The horror of my past made me what I am today. But I couldn't stop even if I wanted to. Because only one thing gives me respite from my panic attacks. Murder. I used to have a broody protector that kept my demons at bay. His darkness rivaled my own, and he was my everything. Tragedy tore us apart when we were eighteen. And since then, he's stayed away. Not too far, though.

I was manipulated by the Jester. I fell for the Fae Lord. But if we are to survive what is to come, then I am going to have to become The Harlequin. My name is Alana Leafborne, and my destiny hangs by a thread. Divided between light and shadow, I stand torn between a choice that will shape the fate of Luminael. The power within me grows stronger each day, a double-edged sword that could save our kingdom or destroy it. As Finn's army of transformed Shadowkind marches on the castle, our alliances threaten to shatter and loyalties are tested.

I was taken, kidnapped by traffickers, and sold like cattle at a market. All for a magic that runs deep through my family's bloodline. Now Lord Eldrion claims me as his own. Cold and cruel he parades me around as a Lady of not only the citadel but his lands, all while refusing to look me in the eyes when he addresses me. This life is worse than death, where others would embrace the luxury I see it as nothing more than a gilded cage. But there is one person who sees me, who dares to defy Lord Eldrion. He too is a prisoner here, trained and forced to entertain visitors at the citadel.

After escaping Lord Eldrion's clutches, I find myself in a new nightmare, haunted by visions of a looming apocalypse. The fate of Luminael rests on my shoulders, but the weight of my newfound powers threatens to crush me. As an empath, I am the key to stopping the ancient evil that seeks to consume us all. But I am not alone in this fight. Finn, the former court jester, stands by my side, our bond forged in the fires of our suffering. Together, we must navigate a dangerous web of alliances and betrayals, unsure of who we can trust.

Overnight, my casual hookup turns into a psycho who leaves me battered and bruised. With no money, my nightmare gets worse when he burns my home and everything I own to the ground. So, I do what any scared, self-respecting Omega does, and run. Hiding in a new city with a fresh approach to staying alive, I keep my head down until I get caught in a crossfire. When I choose to play Good Samaritan to one man over the other, I stumble into their world.
