Jessamine Fareview has no idea she’s been stolen from her family. Still trapped beneath the sleeping spell cast by her mother, she is carried across Kaloma by a stranger known only as the Master—a man whose power is as unsettling as his obsession with the Fareviews. But he makes one mistake: he leaves a witness.

Johesha Malinor, captain of the Jast Royal Guard, abandons his post the moment he realizes Jessamine has been taken. Tracking her to the Master’s secluded manor, Johesha infiltrates the household only to find himself ensnared in the web of its enchantments. When he discovers a way to wake Jessamine, he does, unwittingly triggering the Master’s darkest plan.

Awake but trapped inside a maze of illusions, Jessamine must learn from Johesha how to navigate the shifting dangers of the manor. As they work together to unravel the Master’s magic, an unexpected bond forms between them: tender but forbidden. When a narrow chance to escape finally appears, they seize it, succumbing to their desires. But when the Master discovers their duplicity, he tears them apart with a new spell designed to end them forever.

Separated, hunted, and running out of time, Jessamine and Johesha must each confront the Master’s obsession, and find a way to end the nightmare threatening not only them, but Jessamine’s family. They’ll have to find a way to bring the Master to his knees and defy the magic designed to keep them apart, but will they discover the secrets in time?

In the Shadow of an Obsession is the sweeping, heart‑pounding finale to the Fareview sisters saga. Where every secret comes to light, every bond is tested, and love becomes the most important magic of all.
