NEVER CROSS THE WATER’S EDGE.
BEWARE THE SIREN’S BECKON.
Two months after her exile from Elysia, Sylvia is adrift in a world both strange and exhilarating. As she journeys toward Aelthorin with Jon and Cliff, every step is fraught with uncertainty, her heart torn between the home she left behind and the temptations of newfound freedom. Though she promised her mother she’d reunite with her family, Sylvia finds herself drawn deeper into a forbidden bond with Jon, their connection intensifying in the spectral plane—even though their love is doomed.
Jon struggles to suppress his growing feelings for Sylvia, determined to help her obtain a powerful gemstone that could grant her the impossible–a power that might allow them to be together.
Their journey takes a dangerous turn when they are forced to stop in a sleepy bayou town, where a hidden darkness waits. Jon and Cliff are forced to confront their past when old companions—fellow hunters—emerge, bringing secrets and a new, sinister mystery. The hunters’ outpost is under new control, dealing monster remains to a mysterious client, and Jon and Cliff are thrust into the deadly web.
As new allies—sirens and fairies woven in an ominous partnership—emerge, Sylvia and Jon are forced to confront what they’re willing to sacrifice to defy their destines–and what might be left of them if they fail.
Hunted in the Shadows is the bewitching sequel to Shot in the Dark, an urban romantasy series perfect for fans of SUPERNATURAL and FERN GULLY that explores the courage it takes to embrace our true identity entwined with haunting themes of forbidden love and found family.
