Fated Mates of Shadowbone Academy #2
A Shadow So Wicked
Not yet published
Expected 28 Feb 26Welcome to the graduation games at Shadowbone Academy.
So I survived the hunt. Barely. And now we have weeks to prepare for the graduation games. As the war grows deadlier in the shadow realm, the queen will have more soldiers for her army, no matter the cost.
Don't get me wrong, immortality sounds pretty great, but I'm enough of a realist to know my chances of winning the games? Yeah, they're not looking so great.
On the plus side, my mates are starting to see how amazing I am, and I finally have some more allies, but as my past begins to unravel, old wounds rising to the surface, I start to realize regaining my memories might just be a matter of life and death. Something bad is happening in the academy, and somehow, I'm right in the middle of it.
As students continue to disappear, it becomes clear there are enemies within the academy walls, and I might just be the only one who can stop them. You know, if I don't lose my life first.
Looks like there are more fun times ahead.
A Shadow So Wicked is a fun but dark(ish) why choose fantasy romance novel, and the second book in the Fated Mates of Shadowbone Academy series. It features a clumsy, relatable heroine, and her droolworthy, fated mates who will do anything to protect her. The story is in first person, present tense, and note that while the main focus is on our leading lady, there is also MM in the harem.
This series is connected to the Game of Psychos series, but can easily be read as a standalone series. For a full list of content warnings, please visit the author's website.
