Chronicles of Shadow Bourne

There is a nest of Drows living in hidden caves just outside of Los Angeles. The dark side of LaLa Land knows them well. Young Drows come out of the shadows at nightfall, looking for trouble and it always finds them. But then there's Ellis Burton. Half Drow, half human and searching for an identity in either world. Her father, Connor Burton is the leader of the Drow clan and the overseer in their underground drug traffic. It's all medicinal mushrooms. Nothing to see here. Now her mother, that's a different story. Mom disappeared a long time ago into the city and no one is saying anything. Sometimes, if you want answers, you have to go in search of them for yourself. Ellis Burton has been prowling the city at night looking for answers but instead, she's found a calling. She is the guardian of the dwellers of LA who have to travel the streets at night. Ellis watches from her perch on the edge of buildings, keeping her part of LA safe. Still, there's an ache and a question inside of her that will need answers. Where is the good doctor, Claire Burton? Is she still alive? Did she find out a little too much about the Drow's magic mushrooms? And what about the LAPD and Detective Morrissey? Does he know more than he's saying?

Nothing is ever a coincidence in LaLa Land. When a friend's ex-wife is murdered, the city's guardian Drow, Ellis Burton suspects something more is going on. But what? The clues say the police cannot be trusted in this case. The question is, who can be? And who is covering up the truth, and why? Someone in L.A. has been tracking Ellis and she soon finds out it's the senior Drow, her father. It's not a fun family reunion. But is there really such a thing? She doesn't have time for his threats or shenanigans. There are more dangerous things happening in the city of make-believe. Like the locket she's wearing. It might be the key to figuring out if her mother is in hiding or dead. Can the half Drow figure it out? Ellis is determined. She will get the answers she seeks while protecting the city she has grown to love, from the shadows.

Ellis Burton is taking a dangerous chance searching for answers about her mother. The Drow Protector of the City of Angels takes after her mother, looking out for those who roam the streets at night. But first, Ellis has to regain her shadow magic. That can't come soon enough. There's a dangerous mushroom disease that is plunging victims into dark hallucinations, and a friend of her brother's is missing. Nothing is ever what it seems in LaLa Land. Meanwhile, Charlie is determined to find the truth but is drawn to Ellis's allure. He may be falling down a dangerous path where too many vigilantes and conspiracies intertwine. Can the detective hold them off? Can Charlie trust Ellis? Maybe not and keep his job as a detective. The way things are going, everything is pointing to a jail cell for Ellis. If they can catch her. In this thrilling and suspenseful tale of hidden Drows, magic, mushrooms, secrets, and betrayal, Ellis must navigate a treacherous path to find the truth and protect those she loves. With her magic powers still elusive, she must rely on her wits and instincts to survive. Will she uncover the truth and find her mother, or will she become entangled in a web of darkness?

The half-Drow, Ellis Burton has finally reunited with her mother, Claire but something's not right. Her mother is hiding something where the agency, DRI is concerned, and Ellis isn't sure she can trust her. But she's willing to give her the benefit of doubt for now. Trust, verify, and then bring out the magic. Charlie is still locked up in the DRI offices. The director, who looks strangely familiar offers him a job. Question is, is he considering it to help Ellis or to save his own skin? Before he answers, he's got a plan to check out the facility, while no one is watching him. It'll be an easy in and out job. Until Ellis shows up in a daring rescue attempt. A rescue attempt that may just put an end to the DRI. Can Ellis and her friends reveal just what the DRI is doing to the senator and put an end to the capture and torture of Drow citizens?

Ellis has been sold short by her family all her life, living in the shadows. That didn't stop our favorite Drow from finding her own path, even when it led straight into danger on the dark streets of the city of angels. It started out so simple, watching over the night dwellers in the big city, including her misguided brother. But the mystery deepened around her family's tangled web in the drug business, pulling in Ellis. Then she found at least some of the answers about her missing mother. Were the two things tangled together? Seems like no one wanted to deal straight with Ellis. Here's a really good tip. Never double-cross a Drow, especially one as clever as Ellis. Now, there are a lot of Russian gangsters who are doing their best to learn that the hard way. Fortunately, Ellis still has friends in all the right places who are willing to lend a hand with a few new magical tricks. Will they be enough to stop the city's version of a really big bang? Will Ellis get everyone to safety or was she just the bait for a more dangerous plot?

A thrilling tale of love, lies, and lethal magic. As Charlie and Ellis fight to protect their love and their people, they find themselves entangled in a web of deceit spun by an unlikely foe. Charlie's future with Ellis hangs in the balance when the Drow elders threaten to wipe his memories. Would they take his life? To prove his worth, the detective must solve the murder of a Drow with a mysterious past. But as he delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a sinister plot that could destroy everything he holds dear. Meanwhile, Ellis faces her own challenges when Claire sends her on a dangerous mission to retrieve vital research from a secret government lab. Trapped and running out of options, Ellis must rely on her wits and her allies to survive. With time running out and the fate of the Homestead at stake, they must confront their deepest fears and make the ultimate sacrifice. Will Charlie and Ellis unravel the mystery before it's too late? Or will they be torn apart by the very forces they're trying to save?

A dead ally. A stolen cure. A legendary artifact. Ellis's world is turned upside down when her friend Marusya is killed, and Ellis is rescued by a mysterious group of half-Drow vigilantes. Aboard their ship, the Violet Eel, Ellis learns of a powerful ring that only she can wield-but only if she regains her lost shadow magic. To make matters worse, her friends are captured by the U.S. military, and the cure for Connor's condition is taken. Ellis must navigate a web of alliances and betrayals, challenging the Captain of the Violet Eel to a duel for leadership. With the ring as her guide, Ellis embarks on a mission to rescue her friends and locate a legendary artifact on a military base. But her actions could spark a war between humans and Drow. Can Ellis master her powers, save her friends, and prevent a deadly battle? Or will her quest for the artifact lead to everyone's downfall?

A dark sword. An ancient monster. One hero caught between two worlds. Can the Drow fulfill her destiny? Ellis never asked to be humanity's last hope. But with a supernatural creature ravaging Los Angeles and the military closing in on her people, she has no choice. As chaos engulfs the city, Ellis must master her mysterious shadow sword and uncover its connection to the rampaging monster. With her father, Connor and boyfriend, Charlie by her side, the Drow is going deeper into a hidden realm of old magic and long-buried secrets. Will everyone come out alive? Time is running out. The monster is growing stronger, and too many lives hang in the balance. To save everyone Ellis has vowed to protect, she must confront the beast and the painful history it represents. Can Ellis bridge two worlds and bring peace, or will ancient grudges destroy everything? Will her forbidden love with Charlie survive the coming storm?
