A bargain, a race, and a secret that binds us, body and soul.

Zaria is a slave with one dream: freedom. Her brother is lost to a Dark Rip. Indigold lords have bought her sisters. And now, Zaria has been claimed by Harken, the infamous Savage King. Harken trusts no one, not even the immortal Weavers he is sworn to protect. He keeps his Savage Court locked away behind the Woven mists. Along with his past. And his heart.

But now, Harken’s court is in danger from an old enemy. And whoever is behind the plot seems determined to kill Zaria, making her the most valuable piece in a savage game.

In a bid to expose his enemies, Harken offers Zaria a bargain: play the part of his slave for Astria’s glittering season of Revels, and in return, he will help her win freedom and riches in the Maverick’s Race. But Zaria has secrets of her own. Secrets that bind her to Harken, body and soul, and show her the past he guards so fiercely. Telling him the truth means losing her chance at freedom. Concealing it means betraying his trust—and the Savage King doesn’t tolerate betrayal. But the darkness is coming, and when it does, Zaria’s secrets might be the only thing that can save them all.

Woven in Darkness is a swoonworthy fantasy romance set in a fully realized world with complex characters and an intricate plot. A fabulous listen for fans of Holly Black's Folk of the Air series, Seanan McGuire's October Daye, and Sarah Maas's ACOTAR.
