Like discovering I had a mind-controlling father determined to conquer the world wasn’t bad enough.

Now I’ve also got a dream-invading brother and magic-stealing sister following in Daddy Dearest’s evil footsteps. It’s almost enough to make me wish I’d never found my birth family.

Fortunately, not all my newfound relatives play for Team Evil. Those who don’t are just as dedicated to stopping our father’s awful agenda as I am. If only I can learn how to control the terrifying Mindbender powers stirring inside me—without losing myself to darkness.

No pressure.

On the plus side, my legendary predecessor long believed dead agrees to train me to use Spirit magic now that I’ve gotten a handle on my Fire powers. On the down side? Team Evil knows how to hit me where it hurts, by striking out at those I care about most.

They should have learned hurting those I love doesn’t just make me get mad—it guarantees I’ll get even. Now my allies and I are going to teach them that painful lesson one more time. Even if it means I need to die (again) trying.

Outlaw. Thug. Enforcer. Assassin.

Many titles have been granted to Edric’s name throughout the years, more so than he’d care to admit.

Sold as a child to Raven, a cold-blooded mercenary, he’s been long since forsaken by both kin and comrades. A life by the sharp end of a knife is all that remains to him now, as part of the infamous thieves’ band – the Haunted Shadows.

With blood, terror, and death part of the band’s dishonourable trade, Edric is sent to plunder and kill, to satisfy Raven’s innate greed. He scours the capital of the Midlands for valuables, earning his daily keep, yet nothing he manages to bring is ever enough for the ruthless leader.

Raven wants more and forces his crew into an unforeseen direction, striking out against creatures more terrifying than death itself. Men are rattled to the core, and Edric’s fight for survival is wearing thin.

As he clings to life, he wonders how he is meant to go on? And, most of all, will it be worth the effort, to press on and endure? With darkness waiting to claim him, sorrow and despair are all Edric has left. For he seems to have been abandoned by the Goddess Herself.

The Light of Darkness series is intended for a mature audience, containing sensitive subjects including violence, torture, consequences of sexual abuse, emotional scars, mature language, and steamy scenes.

The Light of Darkness is perfect for readers who enjoy visceral, gripping Epic Romantic Fantasy tales with dark undertones.
