ShadowMist: ShadowMist Series, Book 1

by L.M. Sundwyn, Jesse Mundt (Narrator)

Torn from her mother's arms at eighteen and molded into the perfect servant by a merciless academy, Avyn Ashwood now serves a crown built on blood and darkness. Every day is a hollow march of duty, that is, until the prince returns from battle, his victory trailed by shadows that follow him through the halls and into her thoughts.

Pulled beyond the life she knew, she uncovers a hidden world of ancient creatures, buried histories, and a mysterious voice that whispers from just beyond her reach. With every secret revealed, the boundary between rules and desire begins to fray.

Hunted by the attention of the very many she's forbidden to want, she must choose between the safety of obedience and the dangerous truth stirring within her, because some secrets refuse to stay buried, and some hearts were never meant to be bound.

About the author

I am a new author and have been working on the ShadowMist series for the past couple of years. I started on this journey after my entire life was flipped upside down (understatement of the year). I needed a new outlet for my feelings, emotions, and a way to escape to another world, so I decided to create my own magical one. Writing has helped me discover who I truly am and reclaim everything that was taken from me. This adventure I call life has inspired me to become a better person, mother, daughter, and friend. I hope you will follow me on this journey as I am still growing into the me I want to be.
