Claimed by the Living Shadow: Shadow Peak Shifters Book 5 | A Fated Mates Paranormal Romance (A Shadow Peaks Novel)

Power was never meant to be seen.

Now it won’t stay hidden.

When Kael and Lyrael defy the ancient rules that bind Shadow Peak, they don’t just survive the cost—they change it. What should have torn them apart forges something stronger. A bond that doesn’t break. A connection that doesn’t take.

But power that refuses control doesn’t disappear.

It evolves.

The force that once lived beneath the mountain is no longer contained. It’s spreading beyond Shadow Peak—watching, learning, and reshaping the world in its wake.

And this time…

It’s not just testing the land.

It’s coming for them.

To stop it, Kael and Lyrael must step beyond everything they know and face a threat that can’t be fought the old way. Because the deeper their connection grows, the more dangerous it becomes…

And if they lose control now, it won’t just cost them everything.

It will change what survives.
