Beyond The Darkness (The Darkness Trilogy Book 1) by: Kenzie Compton SIGNED
Orissia, the last kingdom untouched by the plague that consumed the continent, has become a fortress. Its towering walls were meant to keep the monstrous hounds, creatures both clawed and winged, at bay. Born from darkness after the cure, the hounds ravaged what little remained of the world. But the walls guard more than just flesh and blood… they guard secrets.
Aerilyn knows survival. Hardened by the streets and the loss of everything she once loved, she trusts only her blade. But when she’s cast beyond the wall, exiled to a fate no one returns from, death isn’t what greets her. In the wilds, she finds forbidden truths, unlikely allies, and a pull stronger than fear: the question of why the walls were built in the first place.
Everett, royal heir by birth but forgotten by favor, is chosen for a doomed mission beyond the gates. He is tasked with finding the fabled Sword of Aleksi, an artifact whispered to command the hounds themselves. It’s a fool’s quest… but a chance to matter. Even if it costs him everything.
At the edge of the world, they realize that the greatest threat may not be the beasts outside… but the truth waiting within.
✨ Meena’s Reading Note:

Alongside Everett, a forgotten heir with everything to prove, she uncovers lies buried deeper than any plague and discovers that the real danger may not be outside the gates—but within. Perfect for fans of gritty quests, unlikely allies, and the thrill of uncovering hidden truths.

from 42 reviewsThe packaging was super cute and well packed. I was surprised to see the box was personalized. Thank you!! I can’t wait to jump into my new read.
The packaging was beautiful i didnt even want to open it to damage how well put together it was. Tysm
The book is a birthday gift for my wife. I have not opened the package yet because the box and packaging is far better than I could ever hope for. Just hope it’s the deluxe version she’s been wanting when she opens it
I ordered a signed novel online and am immensely impressed with this shop, as well as devastated that I don't have the privilege of being close enough to visit in person. Ambia was very responsive and patient with a question I had regarding shipping. The book was packed with the utmost care and arrived in perfect condition. She included the sweetest treats and trinkets along with the book. This will definitely be my first stop if I'm considering an online book purchase.
This was packed so sweetly with bunch of goodies (made me smile indeed)love this book and had to buy in pb. Lovely store 🖤
Packaged with care in the cutest packaging I’ve ever seen! Will definitely be purchasing from here again and highly recommend!

Ambia went over and beyond in the presentation and packaging of my order. Completely blown away! It was like opening up a box of sunshine—so grateful and impressed. Thank you. Will definitely be shopping here again! 🖤

Thank you so much for everything!A true love for your business and we can see it by the care of product package and customer service :)
One of my favourite books from the last few months! LVED IT! Can't waiter book 2 to be released!
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC copy from the author and so happy to have pre-ordered a physical copy with Ambia! The book is perfect short read for days when you’re in the mood for something a little spooky, paranormal with steamy romance all rolled in one!
Very well crafted and the design works perfectly with my off-white bookshelves.
