In Cursed Shadow
To fight a witch, she must befriend a dragon...
Rowan loves her life in the small town of Chillery, or she would if children weren’t going missing every few nights. When Rowan has what she thinks is a chance to stop the disappearances, she takes it. But she fails and brings the wrath of a powerful witch down upon her family in the process. The witch curses her family and her heroic act has only made things worse.
Now to undo what she has done she must team up with Bather Bane, a hot-headed dragon with little love left in his heart for humanity and a curse of his own.
Will their adventure to find a witchkiller bring about the end of both their curses, or will Rowan be damned to lose everything she loves?
The first book in a new series of YA fantasies by Clara Sutton, In Cursed Shadow is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J Maas, and Holly Black, among others.

Genre: Fantasy | Romance
Recommended by a friend! Also saw on the author's TikTok that the first two books were free on Amazon, so snagged them up, and I LOVED it!! I very much enjoyed it, I liked the characters and the plot and I got through it super quick since it was so good. I am looking forward to starting the next one, the ending of the first book was super interesting and I'm excited to see where it goes!
I really liked Bather, he was really cool. Every time I read his name though in my head it sounded like Blathers from Animal Crossing xD LOL

So so so good!!! I loved the pacing of the story, I loved the characters, I loved how it pulled me in instantly. The world building was done so efficiently and was easy to understand. There was humor, adventure, tears, and romance! I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the books!!

So good!!! I loved how Rowan had so much dedication for those she cared about throughout the book and her journey over all was just so fun to read through! Bather Bane seems like such a dream boat and his story really tugged at my heart. I really enjoyed how each character got such an interesting back story, and the scenery was so well thought out! This book was a great read!
