Zen and the Art of Major Magical Control

Shadow Valley #4

by Devin Harnois

Aiden’s confidence in his magic grows as he becomes more comfortable with his fae nature. Although having a boyfriend fills him with happiness, Aiden wants to keep the relationship secret, worried what others might think—especially Dylan.
Dylan butts heads with the new school liaison, a warden who embodies everything Dylan hates about their control. Then a violent death sparks unrest between citizens and wardens, driving long-held resentment to the surface.
But the protests are just the beginning, and things in Shadow Valley will never be the same.

About the author

Devin Harnois has several published novels and he’d have more if he spent less time on Twitter and playing Dragon Age. Most of his books involve magic, monsters, and hope. They're also getting progressively more queer. He collects skull items and only a strong will prevents his apartment from being overrun by them.

In second grade he wrote his first story, a romance about two mice falling in love. He still has the original draft.

Devin lives in Minneapolis.
