Secrets always claw their way from the shadows.
As a centuries old feline shifter with a dark secret, Nemain knows how to survive. She’s spent her life in the shadows, avoiding scrutiny from the powerful fae and daemons, all while playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the warlock Sebastian. After a grave miscalculation that resulted in her being captured, Nemain has escaped and settled down in the quiet town of Emerald Bay. Amongst her friends and family, and a rather hot werewolf, Nemain thinks she might have finally found happiness.
But the life she’s slowly been piecing back together shatters when vampires show up in town with a message. Her former lover turned enemy Sebastian knows where she is. And he’s coming for her.
Not only are the warlocks hot on her trail, but so is the mysterious assassin of the Vampire Council. With her list of enemies growing by the day, Nemain will have to make a choice. Run and hide. Or stay and embrace her true power… and risk revealing her secret to all.
A Shift in Shadows is the first book of the romantic fantasy series Lost Legacies. If you enjoy fast-paced fantasy set in an expansive world full of snarky morally grey characters and a slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance, don't miss out on this series!
There is nothing I will not give for revenge.
Sebastian has to die. There is nothing else that matters to me. But I’ve been hunting him for decades and have nothing to show for it beyond a broken soul. My body is failing. And the magic that I keep changed within my soul is close to breaking free.
I can’t seem to bring myself to care.
My friends, however, are unwilling to let me destroy myself in the name of revenge. I’ve been able to ignore their pleas to stop my mad pursuit until now. Pele offers me something I can’t resist. A real chance at finding Sebastian.
So I accept what should be a simple job. Escort a bunch of magic-barren people back to their home realm so they can find their lost magic. But this place isn’t the empty wasteland I was told it was.
Something still lurks there. Something monstrous… and hungry.
A Shift in Darkness is a prequel novella to the fantasy romance series Lost Legacies. It takes place directly before the events of A Shift in Shadows, but it can be read at any time.
Never do a favor for a daemon.
Whoever said revenge gets you nowhere has clearly never experienced the joy of having all your enemies defeated. Nemain is soaking in the freedom that comes with no longer being hunted. However, her reprieve comes to an end when a friend asks for a favor that she can’t refuse. Not when it could lead to answers that Nemain wants and alliances she desperately needs.
A child with extraordinary magic is being stalked by a group of ruthless fae. No one knows who the fae are or why they’re after the child, but one thing was clear, their magic consumed other magic. They were devourers—or at least part devourer. While most didn’t believe that was possible, Nemain certainly did. She had been hiding her own devourer heritage for her entire life.
In their search for the child, Nemain and her friends unearth other secrets. Old secrets, new secrets. Ancient secrets long forgotten. Secrets from both friend and foe. Once again, Nemain’s fate is going to take a drastic turn. But this time it’s more than just her life on the line and there is no getting out of this without sacrifice.
