Key & Shadows by Briar C. Pierce
Something has been calling Holland south for as long as she can remember. She’s tried to ignore it.
Until the shadows started reaching out.
Marked by an ancient magic she doesn’t understand, Holland is forced to follow the pull she has spent years resisting—across oceans, through impossible worlds, and alongside a chaotic dragon-hybrid whose loyalty may be the only thing keeping her alive.
There, she discovers the truth: She is the Key.
The one the ancient prophecy has been waiting for. The one the Custodians have spent generations hunting.
But Holland isn’t the only one in this bond.
A mysterious shadow-bound entity has haunted her dreams for years. He knows her fears. Her pain. Her secrets. He claims he will never take her choice from her. But he also insists she was always meant to find him.
As enemies close in and betrayal threatens everything she thought she knew, Holland must decide who to trust—the people she’s just met, the friend who may have betrayed her, or the darkness that feels more like home than anywhere she’s ever been.
Because unlocking the prison beneath the ice may save the world… Or unleash something powerful enough to destroy it.
