Lyss and Hal’s intricately linked fates become inseparable when they fall under the shadow of a new enemy—a force that threatens to extinguish the last rays of hope in the Shattered Realms.

Book Description
Murdering humans is a huge no-no and comes with an off-with-your-head sentence. Doesn't matter if you don't remember doing the crime. I killed a human, and no, it wasn't on purpose, but that shit doesn't matter to the council. I'm facing death. So, when I'm offered a deal to avoid execution, I'd be a fool not to take it, even if it means leaving the human world and urban life behind to enroll in the Nightwatch Academy - a gothic monstrosity hidden from human eyes, located way too close to the largest tear in the fabric of our reality. It would be fun if I had any inclination of becoming a member of the Watch or supporting the shadow knights at keeping the Formorian threat at bay. But heck, the monsters beyond the mist aren't my problem. I have personal demons to deal with. Once I'm out, the Watch can shove it. But one sip from the ceremonial goblet and my plans to coast are out of the window as my powers spark to life. I'm an anomaly, one the Watch won't be letting walk any time soon. My only comfort is a man who prides himself on his ability to harness pain. Battle scarred and formidable, he's my tutor, my mentor, and the object of some super saucy dreams. He's completely off limits and my only hope of surviving my first test. I'll need to harness my powers fast. There can be no distractions. But when my fellow cadets start going missing then returning with no memory of who they used to be and my best friend is taken, turning a blind eye is no longer an option. Allies are limited when you're a freak. Luckily, I don't need a cheer squad to get shit done. Whoever is responsible better watch out. I'm coming for them, and I'll be bringing the pain. The Vampire Academy meets Game of Thrones in this kick-ass, supernatural academy, Urban Fantasy with a slow burn Why Choose Romance.

Book Description
Bobby hasn't seen his grandmother, Mae, for a while. When she shows up he isn't sure if it's really her, since she arrives while he's dreaming. She returns each time he dreams and then tells him what's going on, he is a Shadow Caster. Strange things continue to happen when he dreams and even stranger things when he's awake. Then his shadow begins to do things, not things that are under his control, at least not at first. He has to figure out how to use mystical abilities to save Mae, because she has answers to his questions, since she too is a Shadow Caster. A fast paced energetic story about Bobby, a boy who discovers a new world around him and inside himself. He and his two friends provide an innocent, lighthearted, and sometimes comical, approach to dealing with situations from saving a dog to fighting with evil spirits. Bobby goes from geek to a supernatural powered geek by discovering the lost practice of Shadow Casting. With a little help from his friends, the walking dead and spirits from the past he overcomes some bizarre obstacles in order to release Mae from being held captive by a evil foe. Many ancient cultures looked to spirits for guidance, religion, healing, physical strength and protection against evil. The back ground of the Shadow Caster is derived from Native American lore, which provides the underlying theme of spiritualism and atonement with nature.
