She thought her days as an assassin were behind her. She never expected that what she’d have to leave behind was love.

It all began with a gift that turned into a curse.

Once the king’s greatest love, Yva is now bound to work against him. As the second-in-command for the rebellion’s leader, she must kill in the shadows against the very crown she had helped secure not long ago. But Yva’s entanglement is deeper than meets the eye, because the only cure that could help her regain her own life is being crafted behind enemy lines. And her choices might not only push her further away from the one she loves but also kill her.

Deluged beneath her laden betrayal, Samthi delays his coronation in hopes of better days, which puts his kingdom in danger, as the rebels’ propaganda increases. But when humans go missing after crossing the border into his territory, he must choose to take responsibility and become the ruler his people need, but never had—someone willing to fight for justice. To uncover what he believes are his enemies' criminal activities, Samthi infiltrates their lair, a brothel that hides more than just masks and deceptions; it also hides her.

From there, Yva and Samthi must navigate a fragile path of heartbreak and sacrifices. And no one can guarantee whether they would be able to rekindle their lost love or risk losing it all again, for good.

Umbra is the first book in a new dark fantasy romance filled with angst, secrets and a soul-crushing, slow-burn romance—perfect for fans of When the Moon Hatched, Fourth Wing and From Blood and Ash series.

About Catalina Matei

I write about existential angst in steamy fantasy novels.

Even though I started writing in high school, I never thought I'd get here and start an entire trilogy but here we are.

I'm a bookworm at heart and enjoy reading various genres from classics to pitch black horror romances.

I live in Romania and when I'm not working my full time job as a software engineer, I spend my days off on road trips through Europe with my husband and overprotective pug, reading and/or writing.
