Robin never expected to live a double life... By day, he's Clara's enigmatic history teacher, silently keeping watch over her. At night, he soars above her as the monster who holds the key to her shattered childhood. Torn between his vow to protect her and his fear of losing her to the truth, Robin treads a dangerous line, keeping his identity hidden as all manner of evil converges on her. Clara, meanwhile, finds herself powerless. Cursed by a witch, she's lost the abilities she only recently discovered. Vulnerable yet far from helpless, Clara refuses to back down in the face of growing threats. Her unyielding courage inspires everyone around her-especially Robin, who begins to fall for her, despite knowing her heart may still belong to Erick. As the darkness closes in and Clara searches for a way to get her powers back and change her fate, Robin must decide whether protecting her means stepping out of the shadows-or keeping his distance to shield her from the monster within. The Black Shards continues the spellbinding tale of The Chosen and the Cursed, where love is tested, and the line between protector and predator grows dangerously thin.
