Rain of Shadows and Endings (The Legacy)

Rain of Shadows and Endings is the first book in Melissa K. Roehrich's Legacy Series, a contemporary dark romantasy set in Devram, a realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods created this world for their descendants—including dragons and Fae—and then abandoned it, swearing never to return or interfere. Every five years, eligible Fae are gathered for the Selection and assigned to serve in one of six Kingdoms. Being chosen as the personal Source for a Kingdom Heir is considered the greatest honor. For the first time in millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs selecting a Source simultaneously, a development that could shift the balance of power. Tessalyn Asura, a forgotten figure in her realm, is unexpectedly chosen as the personal Source to the Heir of Endings, placing her in the darkest of the six Kingdoms—Arius. Forced into a life she never wanted, Tessa must navigate the secrets of her new position and resist the pull of desire while fighting against the fate imposed upon her. As she struggles, she begins to uncover signs that their world may not be as forgotten as believed—and that she may be connected to why.
