About this series
When the Darkness consumes all, is it really the end?
Cadda ni Caridos is losing control of her body and maybe even her mind. That orange glow in her eyes? Permanent fixture now. That voice in her head, telling her what to do? Always there now. When nothing she does matches her will, Cadda realizes it has happened – she has returned to the Darkness and that other voice in her head has merged with her body in the Midst.
Veromaia the giantess is all too happy to be free of the Darkness and in a new and improved body to boot. The Midst will soon return to Aiia's control, if she can succeed in summoning an army. But the giantess finds resistance to her plans from the Darkness and from the Midst. Perhaps the humans are hardier than she thought.
Matty Larkin is intent on finding a way to free Cadda from her curse, but she has to go north to the Ruromanni for answers. When she does, she finds more than she bargained for. Suddenly, she is confronted with the future of not only her friend, but of her kingdom. Matty has a bigger part to play than she ever imagined and she's not so sure she's up to the task.
Cadda must break free of Veromaia before the giantess destroys everything in her path with no care to who or what she tramples. Matty needs answers in time to stop King Esmond from bringing Ledonia to ruin and civil war. They have to be quick or else there may be nothing left to save.

- Awakening: The Darkness in the Midst, #0
0
In this prequel to The Darkness in the Midst trilogy, Cadda ni Caridos awakens from tragedy to find out nothing will ever be the same. Her clan has been driven into the forest, her mother enslaved, and her father murdered. And nobody has done anything about it. Cadda vows to change that, all while struggling to come to grips with her new physical reality - something has made her physically stronger, something has given her heightened senses - and though it may seem like a boon, Cadda's not so sure it is.
- From the Darkness Comes: The Darkness in the Midst, #1
1
Revenge is not for the faint of heart. Cadda ni Caridos is a revenant who desires nothing more than finding the man who made her that way – the same man who killed her father and captured her mother. The glowing eyes, night vision, incredible strength and speed that came out of resurrection might seem like a boon, but when she can't control her abilities and starts bringing death to others, she realizes it's a curse. Cadda must dodge the authorities while searching for her father's murderer, a man who turns out to be a powerful duke, and the only person to know the fate of her mother. Always one step away from the king and his elite order of bodyguards, Lord Kenric Dorsile is near impossible to get close to, especially for a lowly foreigner like Cadda. While scheming a way to do just that, Cadda is finally caught by the authorities. Being conscripted into the army as punishment and sent to the far edge of the kingdom to defend against barbarians – the enemy of her enemy – proves to be a mammoth of a challenge. Cadda must find a way to return to the capital, even if that way includes personally fanning the flames of war. Otherwise, she risks losing her mother forever and forfeiting the right to avenge her father and herself.
- She-Wolf on a Leash: The Darkness in the Midst, #2
2
How long can a she-wolf be kept leashed before she breaks free and bites? The kingdom of Ledonia is about to find out. Cadda ni Caridos finds herself in the employ of the king, serving as one of his personal bodyguards. But everyone else knows her as the she-wolf of the king – his fear mongering brute. The only reason Cadda puts up with this is to keep her mother safe and preserve any hope of ever finding her little brother alive. When the king reneges on his promise and puts all Cadda holds dear in danger, she must comply, even if it means voyaging back to the one place she thought she'd never return to: home. She must also convince a prince to follow her and that her intentions are good – a difficult task, considering the voice in her head wants him dead and Cadda to do the deed.
