A Whisper of Shadows

Jasmine Wright's world is one of quiet order, mending the fragile histories bound in leather and paper. But when her best friend, a fearless journalist, vanishes while chasing a story about the city's strange disappearances, Jasmine's meticulously crafted life is torn apart. Her desperate search plunges her into the misty, secret heart of Veridia, a place where the barrier between worlds is wearing dangerously thin.


A terrifying confrontation awakens a power Jasmine never knew she possessed-a blasphemous, uncontrollable union of light and shadow. Suddenly, she is a living anomaly, hunted by two deadly forces. A ruthless, high-tech order of monster hunters sees her as a disease to be purged, while creatures of living shadow see her as a weapon to be controlled. Her only hope for survival lies in a fragile, dangerous alliance with Dominic Greene, the ancient and enigmatic king of the shadow-realms, a being whose protection may be more dangerous than the enemies at her back.


As Dominic's own dark secrets are revealed, Jasmine learns her power is not just an accident-it's a legacy that could either mend the fracturing sky or shatter it completely. Caught in a war older than time, she must learn to control the storm within her before it consumes her, her city, and the very fabric of reality. But in a world of monsters and zealots, who can she truly trust when the greatest monster of all might be herself?
