Daughter of Shadow Kindle Edition
A sorceress with dark magic who's a threat to the kingdom.
Three powerful men from the royal courts sworn to protect her.
And a pet dragon with a secret.
The dragons are dead, the Ebon Queen has destroyed the elven realms, and the courts are at war. The queen's dark magic grows in strength, and the kingdom is losing the battle against her. Three men are sent from the Silvercrest Court stronghold to seek others to aid their cause.
Leander, an eminent and domineering High Lord.
Rohan, a fierce and seductive Knight of the Realm.
Galen, a deceptively gentle and passionate High Elf.
Their task: recruit the most potent magic users from the shire towns and train them to join the crusade against the Ebon Queen.
They never expected to find a daughter of shadow.
Calla's time working at the apothecary ends abruptly. On the day the town tests her magic skills, Calla's shadowmancy is revealed—a school of magic banned throughout the kingdom. A shocked Calla faces a death sentence, but a mysterious man smuggles her from town.
With no other choice, Calla must journey to the stronghold with the three strange men. As they fight their way through enemy territory, the men discover that Calla's power is more dangerous than they realised—and so is the bond this creates between them all.
Meanwhile, the Ebon Queen continues to ravage the human and elven lands as her shadow and decay move through the kingdom. And she's looking for Calla.
Daughter of Shadow is the first in a slow burn and slow build why choose romantic fantasy series. Perfect for lovers of unique fantasy worlds filled with elves, humans, and dragons. Featuring a strong magical heroine and fiercely protective men who will give everything to protect the woman they love. The COMPLETE four book series is also available as the box set.
This book is written in British English.

- My heart pains as if somebody thrust a hand into my chest and twisted it. I know what happened here. I sweep a gaze over the rest of her clothes, but only her blouse is torn. I stand and step back. "We don't want to harm you."Highlighted by 127 Kindle readers
- "I'll take her," suggests Rohan. I drag myself upright and sway as the mead interferes. "Don't care. Just someone take me to bed." Leander chuckles. "Perhaps that's the wrong choice of words, Calla." "Stick your innuendo up your arrogant arse," I retort and manoeuvre myself towards the stairs.Highlighted by 116 Kindle readers
- "And tell the dumb country girl what in the king's name is happening," I grumble. My biggest surprise of the day is when Galen takes my hand and says, "You're not a dumb country girl. And you're safe now."Highlighted by 114 Kindle readers

Then why did I just give it 3 stars? Mostly because it's poorly edited. There are tons of inconsistencies, repetitive sentences and a few pretty large plotholes. The author clearly knows how to write and is good at it, but this way the book feels rushed and not worked through enough. I'm pretty sure all of these mistakes could have been avoided with a beta reader or editor and that makes it such a shame because I really liked this book. The story and character had me hooked.
Will I buy the rest of the series? I don't know. I want to know how it ends but since the book feel so rushed, I found myself proofreading it instead of just reading and that's not how I want to spend my reading time.
Again: A really good plot/story idea, love the pace and rhythm of the writing, and the characters are great. It simply needs more work to make me read more.
When the mayor's son, Thomas, offers to walk her home she wants to say no, but she actually can't stop him from following her so she ignores him. At least she does until he attacks her. As she fights him off she is suddenly aware of a strange dark magic that manifests as a shadow attached to her. A really angry, evil shadow. What the??? Galen and Rohan observe what happens and know she is a Daughter of Shadow and should, by law, be immediately killed but they also see that she is scared and horrified at what happened.
I am not going to try to tell you the whole story as you will want to read it for yourself. Three hot guys (yeah, there's another one!), one powerful girl (well, she will be), and a little dragonkin who is her constant companion (until she needs him anyway). Her kind is feared and hated. She will need all of her strength and the help of all of the men to make it through what is to come.
