The Shadow Soul by Kaitlyn Davis

The Shadow Soul (A Dance of Dragons, #1)

by Kaitlyn Davis

When Jinji's home is destroyed, she is left with nowhere to run and no one to run to--until she meets Rhen, a prince chasing rumors that foreign enemies have landed on his shores. Masquerading as a boy, Jinji joins Rhen with vengeance in her heart. But traveling together doesn't mean trusting one another, and both are keeping a deep secret--magic. Jinji can weave the elements to create master illusions and Rhen can pull burning flames into his flesh.

But while they struggle to hide the truth, a shadow lurks in the night. An ancient evil has reawakened, and unbeknownst to them, these two unlikely companions hold the key to its defeat. Because their meeting was not coincidence--it was fate. And their story has played out before, in a long forgotten time, an age of myth that is about to be reborn...

so i reading this series in a collection with the novellas so i read the first novella and then the book one. Now i was bit confused as i was expecting the story to pick right up where the novella left us with this princess who just been caught by her dad as she trying to escape the palace with her lover. Instead we are in a new kingdom and a whole tribe of people that gets wiped from the world in one feel swoop by this evil shadow. We meet jin and a handsome prince and they end up traveling to another kingdom and that where the story starts to weave with the novella. I got caught up in the whole story and i excited to continue it i don't always get the chance to enjoy the novellas that get mixed in with the main books and this is a delightful treat.
