The Raid - A Shadow World Max story

The Raid is a visceral, high-stakes romantic fantasy novella that blends the brutal grit of battle with tender, explicit passion.

On her quest to defeat the Mistress Witch, Niri was captured and tortured by the Dark Riders. Now, driven by love and hungry for revenge, her closest friends lead a desperate raid on the Riders’ impregnable fortress. Facing overwhelming odds, they are forced to forge unexpected alliances and confront the darkness threatening to consume them all in this brutal, high-stakes gambit where victory will be measured in blood, and survival is not guaranteed.

In this tale of friendship, love, and the surprising resilience of kindness in a terribly cruel world, the central trio of characters must discover just how far they will go for those they love. But in a war against pure evil, victory may cost them more than their lives.

The Raid blends the brutal action of The Poppy War with the central romance of Fourth Wing.

The Raid is a companion novella to the events in Witch Hunt (Shadow World, Book 2).
