Light Among the Shadows

Light Among the Shadows

Light. Darkness. Destiny. Some bonds are written in shadow.

Raised by an unstable mother and haunted by half-remembered visions, Aspen never believed the stories of angels, realms, or wars between light and dark, until the day she's taken. Now trapped in a world once shaped by the divine, she discovers that humans are slaves, angels have fallen, and a shadow is spreading across the land. Assigned to serve the ruthless General of the Night Dwellers, Aspen must navigate a realm of beauty and corruption, where every secret cuts deep and power always comes at a cost. But as the darkness stirs something inside her, Aspen begins to wonder whether the light she carries might be the very thing this realm has been waiting for, or the spark that destroys it.

“Light Among the Shadows is deeply intriguing, with SUCH a compelling storyline! This immersive fantasy world is written with a beautiful & very intentional contrast between light and darkness all throughout. It is clear how much heart, work, imagination, and brilliance went into this debut novel. I want more and I'm genuinely excited to see where this story—and series—takes these powerful characters next!”
— Rhen Anderson, Age 33
