Confronted by her father’s guarded answers, she questions the status of shadow-commanding guards, the history erased from her stepbrothers, and the growing threats stemming from Wisp’s brother’s new rule in the Court of Tides. The conversation reveals barriers between old and new courts, rewritten legacies, and hidden secrets while hints of lingering feelings deepen the stakes.","Entangled with a Shadow  \nFae  \nCourt of Shadows Book Eight  \nTasha Creed  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2026 by Tasha Creed All rights reserved.  \nNo part of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical methods, without the prior written permission of the publisher, except as permitted by U.S. copyright law.

It reminds me of dancing, which is something I haven’t done in ages. It’s not that I don’t love it, because I do, but my heart just hasn’t been in it.  \nNot since    \nMy mind wanders. No, I’m not thinking about that right now.  \nI glance out the window, staring at where the boundary line used to be. Now that this place was free, you’d think more would have ventured back into the Court of Ruins to pick up where they left off. But no, most chose to stay here, living under my parents as the Court of Bones.  \nThe shadows extinguish as I catch sight of my father walking past the throne room doors. He stops and turns, looking directly at me.  \n“What are you doing here? I thought you’d be visiting with your sons,” he says, his voice low.“Lilah should have your first grandchild soon.”  \n“Very soon,” I say, looking at where the shadows had been dancing between my fingertips.“But I needed to speak to you.”  \n“Me?” He asks, his voice amused.“Why do you need to see your dear old father?”  \nA grin spreads across my face.“I—” My voice trails off. How do I ask this?“Um, your guards, how are they?”  \nOne brow arches.“They’re fine. Why do you ask?”  \n“Has Astaroth asked about why you have an army that commands shadows like the royal line?”  \nMy father nods.“Of course. Astaroth and Callum have both been asking plenty of questions about our history, since they were deprived of that knowledge.”  \nI glance out the window, my eyes locking onto a tree. It doesn’t hold any significance. I just need a focal point.“I hate that they didn’t learn anything about our history and now they’re being thrown into it.”  \n“They had an interesting dinner with Kaelen, who explained how the Court of Ruins began and where we all are from,” he says, taking a cautious step toward me.“That is when he asked and I had to tell him that they could only command shadows, not every power like we could.”  \n“Did you also explain that you made their markings go up their throats to intimidate others?” I ask, glancing at him briefly.  \nHe bites his lower lip.“No, and that is a secret you need to keep to yourself. No one needs to know right now. Not with the threats.”  \nI sit up on the throne straighter, my eyes now firmly on his.“What threats?”  \n“Wisp’s brother is now the King of the Court of Tides,” he whispers, glancing down at his boots. “It looks like they’ve been thriving under thesea all this time, but he has passed along information that—” He pauses, sighing heavily.“The kingdoms survived, and they have been holding a barrier between the old and new courts.”  \nMy eyebrows rise until they nearly hit my hairline.“What? But we…This court was formed from the ruins of the others.
