    About this ebook

    A faery sword — A haunted mermaid — A fallen angel

    When the fae sword War transports Amy to the scene of a magical crime, she finds more than a dead man. The oldest Watcher, Shadow, newly reborn, saw the murder. The victim isn’t innocent, and the killer remains on the loose.

    Haunted by the past, Amy wields a powerful weapon. But the source of her mermaid magic—her wild, untamed feelings—overwhelms. She’s no hero, but the fight comes down to her. She must learn to trust.

    Can she and Shadow stop the killer? If they fail, magic—and with it, all the worlds—will never be the same.

    A story about awakening magic and lighting the fires of hope.

    Leslie Claire Walker

    Leslie grew up among the lush bayous of southeast Texas and currently lives in the spectacularly green Pacific Northwest with ornery cats, two harps, and too many fantasy novels to count. She takes her inspiration from the dark beauty of the city, the power of myth, and music ranging from Celtic harp to heavy metal. Even in the darkest of her tales, a spark lights the way. Leslie Claire Walker is the author of the young adult contemporary fantasy series The Faery Chronicles, including the novels HUNT, DEMON, and FAERY. Her urban fantasy series, The Soul Forge, launched in in 2016 with NIGHT AWAKENS.
