To Kill a Shadow

Published 28 November 2023
On the day of The Calling, Selena Carlisle knows her beloved brother will be chosen. Each family is expected to sacrifice a son to the Knights of the Eternal Star, fated to protect the lands against the mist that poisons the land, its creatures, and its people. Infecting them with chilling evil.

But Selena is a true warrior. Defiant, angry, and fierce, she is a living weapon with a will to match. And so she is chosen instead: the first girl in over half a century.

The others whisper about her, awed by her speed, as lethal as the shadow beasts rumoured to roam the mist. And always those gloves, hiding her secret shame. Only their fearsome and quietly dangerous commander, Jude Maddox, sees the possibilities of Selena, even as she awakens a part of him long thought dead.

The king commanded Jude to find warriors.


Most of them will die.


But maybe Selena Carlisle will do what all other knights had failed to do…


And live.

Book 2

Welcome back into the Mist…in the astonishing sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller To Kill a Shadow…

Some fear the darkness. It’s the place where horror hides, concealing its rank, sharp teeth and insatiable hunger. But there is no darkness more feared than that of the mist that’s overtaken the kingdom...and its brave―and ultimately doomed― soldiers.

Except for Kiara Frey.

She has nothing to fear from the night. Not anymore.

Driven by the fury of her splintered heart, Kiara knows that the answers―and the only possible way to a future with Jude Maddox―begin with the realm’s most notorious thief, the Fox. Together, they hunt down the path to breaking Asidia’s dark curse, but in the shadows, something more horrifying than the mist lies in wait. Watching. Willing Kiara to find the game pieces set in place long ago.

As Jude and Kiara are lured to a sacred temple―a shrine that is the home to both exquisite dreams and chilling nightmares―Kiara’s newfound powers flourish but her shadows threaten to consume her.

Because here in these cursed lands, it’s not the darkness that destroys the soul...it’s love.
