Reign of Shadows
By Melissa Wright
Reign of Shadows
(Descendants #3)
By Melissa Wright

Brianna can see her future, but it’s the past that haunts her. Plans laid in place centuries ago are threatening not only her and her sister, but all of the Seven Lines. As the shadows plot their way to old rule, the visions shift again. Her power has led to some hard choices—and the occasional stab wound—but this set of futures holds nothing but darkness.

Unable to bear the idea of losing the footing they've so recently gained, she turns the soldiers of the Seven. But with shadows hidden among the ranks, can she overcome the path they've set in place, or is she blindly following their lead?


Excerpt

The front room was large, holding a sitting area, several tables, and a workspace. Emily glanced up from where she perched on the edge of a sofa, always appearing ready to stand or bolt from the room, her dark blonde hair in loose waves, her casual smile still out of the ordinary. “Sorry, Bri,” she said. “Did we wake you?”
Brianna shook her head, forcing a smile as her eyes caught Logan and sent a sharp pang through her chest. His arms were crossed as he leaned against the side of large padded chair, that same state of constant readiness in his form as Emily.
“Where’s Aern?” Brianna asked, aware and more than a little guilty that they didn’t suspect her of keeping something from them.
Logan shifted and Brianna kept her eyes on her sister, knowing he was doing his best to give her space until she recovered. Emily pointed toward the floor, or rather the level below where council business was being conducted at an alarming rate. “He’s downstairs, still working out details for the new board and the other properties.”
Brianna’s face paled, thoughts going to Brendan and the others who had been lost in the fighting. Nothing was left of Westlake. The entire property had been reduced to ash.
A look passed between Logan and Emily and she stood, patting a hand on her knee as she said, “I’ll go grab us some lunch.” She left the room to Brianna’s vague nod, and Logan moved, squeezing her shoulder as he asked, “Sleep well, Brianna?”
She searched his eyes and found the same concern she thought she’d heard in his voice. If anyone would have suspected her, realized she was keeping secrets, it would have been Logan, wouldn’t it?
She said, “I’m sorry,” the apology for more than just those secrets, and he slid closer, wrapping an arm around her as he pressed his lips to her forehead. He smelled clean, too familiar, and she breathed it in as his fingers trailed down her back.
“Brianna,” he said, “none of us would be here without you. Don’t apologize. For anything.”
“No,” she whispered. “I’m sorry for what’s about to happen.” She tilted her head, drawing it from beneath his chin to look again at the amber of his eyes, the glow that was within them before suddenly stronger than she’d ever seen it. “I’m sorry for what I’ve set into motion.”
Logan’s brow drew down, not able to understand, and the stab in her chest redoubled. She was going to have to tell them. They had thought they were finally free, finally able to find genuine happiness, and she was going to have to tear it away from all of them. Because her powers had been restored, and they were showing something she couldn’t face alone, something that none of them had expected. She knew the four of them didn’t stand much of a chance of fighting this future, but she felt the difference in herself. In their situation.
Because the shadows hadn’t died with the prophecy. They were still out there, trying to shift the fate of the world.
But now, Brianna Drake could see them.
