Shadow Waking

For a thousand years, the immortal, mischievous Shadowman has operated solo, wandering the Southern Empire doing whatever he wants. Sneaking into palaces—check. Playing games with the local authorities—check. And of course, his favourite, thieving from thieves—double check. But when an Angel turns up, knowing exactly who and what he is, demanding he fulfill a preordained destiny, he knows to run the other way fast.

Everyone wants access to Shadowman’s talents – but he knows better than to risk losing his soul for someone else’s agenda. So when he finds himself in a remote northern village with signs that destiny is still on his heels, he’s determined not to get involved in the affairs of the villagers—especially not the mysterious and beautiful Elena.

But when trouble in the village takes a sinister turn and Elena’s life is in danger, Shadowman must decide whether maintaining his hard-won freedom is worth the cost.

Can he outsmart the villains and save Elena–without losing his soul?
