Poppy's life had been a lie.

Poppy Mathews thought she had it all-a handsome boyfriend, loving parents, and good grades at college. But when her boyfriend dumps her and she's attacked, and nearly killed, during a night out with her best friend, she learns her memories of the past five years aren't even real. She's fated to one of the Shadow Marked, those cursed with tattoo-like marks for every life they take.

And he'll stop at nothing to get her back.

Prince Thaniel is cursed.

Thaniel Ashton-Dumont thought losing his fated was the worst thing that could happen. He was wrong. Besides triggering his curse, the fact that Poppy has no recollection of him, no memories of their time together, is the worst thing to happen.

And as hard as he tries, he can't forget her.

When Poppy's parents are taken by one of Thaniel's enemies, she's thrust into a new world where nothing is as it seems. She has five years of memories to reclaim-five years of herself to uncover. As she unravels the truth, she realizes there's more to her relationship with Thaniel than meets the eye.

But being fated to an Ashton-Dumont can be deadly.

Curse of Lies and Shadow is a fast-paced, fated love story. Readers who enjoy slow-burn romance, royalty, and morally grey characters will enjoy the first book in The Shadow Marked series.
