The Shadow Rule (The Stars and Green Magics)

THE ENEMY BY MY SIDE.<br/>THE ENEMY IN MY HEART.<br/><br/>Ari will never be the Heir again. Her younger sister, Dressa, was supposed to hold her place, but now Dressa’s stolen her future rulership.<br/>Banished to a resort world to recover from her illness, Ari’s determined to reclaim her shapeshifting abilities and race back to the capital. But a young gardener with a mysterious past is taking too much interest in Ari’s new persona, and a possessive duke is bent on capturing her attention for himself.<br/>Are they both after her heart, or something far more sinister?<br/>Dressa won her freedom, won her bride—and won a kingdom she didn’t want. Now, with an alien crisis brewing, she has to step up as the Heir, and maybe, soon, as the ruler.<br/>Because there’s a secret at the heart of the kingdom. A secret that spans her father’s entire rule and could bring everything tumbling down.<br/>And she’s already let the enemy into her palace, and into her heart.<br/>When no one is who they seem and every smile is a weapon, the Truthspoken must find their way to truth before the kingdom crumbles around them.<br/>The Shadow Rule collects episodes 37-93 of The Stars and Green Magics, previously published on Kindle Vella.<br/>Note: This book has main characters who use gender neutral pronouns (they/them/their, fae/faer/faerself).
