"Shadows do not step out, Shadows do not stand out."

This is the motto Darby was raised by at the Shadow Academy where a brutal upbringing forged her into an elite spy. Ever since childhood, she has trained to be invisible, unattached, and to survive in any situation long enough to complete her mission. Now that she's graduated, Darby will put her training to the test as she carries out her latest task: masquerading as one of Prince Nolan's marriage season suitors at The Winter Palace, where dark secrets lurk below the sparkling surface...

Darby dives headfirst into a world of lavishly themed balls and court politics. For the first time in her life, she will have a chance to explore her own beliefs, her sense of self, and her heart's desire. But Darby's taste of freedom might just alter the course of her life forever as she finds herself faced with an impossible choice. How will she choose between her duty and her destiny?

ROYAL MAGIC is a fast paced, spicy Romantasy novel that explores the dangers of accepting the status quo, the challenge of discovering your own power, and the beautiful mess of falling in love.
