Dana Hathaway is the first Faeriewalker in decades, which means she can take magic into the mortal world and working technology into Faerie. However, instead of being honored for her unique status, Dana has to stay protected from both Queens of Faerie, as they want her dead. This involves hiding out in a bunker-like cave and listening to her currently-sober mother argue with her indomitable Fae father about homeschooling vs public schooling and other aspects of her safety. In addition, Dana is trying to get over the multiple betrayals of her not-boyfriend Ethan and discovers herself over her head in negotiations with the scary and sexy Erlking.

Everyone's got secrets, and no one wants to share, even if the sharing might be in everyone's best interests: not only does SHADOWSPELL reveal the continuation of Dana's adventures from Glimmerglass, the work investigates the themes of prevarication and revelation: what is the line between standing on one's own and stubborn secret-keeping?

Cleverly written, SHADOWSPELL allows readers to enjoy a swift fantasy that weaves in the real-life concerns of its young protagonist.

Book Summary

On top of spending most of her time in a bunkerlike safe house and having her dates hijacked by a formidable Fae bodyguard, Faeriewalker Dana Hathaway is in for some more bad news: the Erlking and his pack of murderous minions known as the Wild Hunt have descended upon Avalon.

With his homicidal appetite and immortal powers, the Erlking has long been the nightmare of the Fae realm. A fragile treaty with the Faerie Queen, sealed with a mysterious spell, is the one thing that keeps him from hunting unchecked in Avalon, the only place on Earth where humans and Fae live together. Which means Dana's in trouble, since it's common knowledge that the Faerie Queen wants her and her rare Faeriewalker powers dead.

The smoldering, sexy Erlking's got his sights set on Dana, but does he only seek to kill her, or does he have something much darker in mind?
