      About This Book

      She must face her darkest fears to save her world--and he will do anything to protect her.
       
      Tired of living a small life, Lilia moves to a bustling port and finds work as a cook. But her neat, ordered world crumbles the day a handsome, enigmatic stranger leaves a charm-stone in her safekeeping. 
       
      Ever since Lilia started work at his father's inn, Dain has wanted her--only she doesn't return his interest. But when Lilia's shadow starts acting strangely, and the stranger comes back to retrieve his charm-stone, Dain takes on the role of her protector.
       
      What appears to be a humble hag stone--used by folk to ward off evil spirits--is in reality a powerful talisman. One that a secret brotherhood has spent five-hundred years searching for.
       
      On an epic journey into danger and discovery, Lilia and Dain flee assassins who hunt the stone. The shadows are deepening and an ancient evil risks being unleashed upon the world. Lilia must face the darkness, and her own fears--or there will be no going home.

      If you like the fantasy romance of Radiance, the thrills of the Throne of Glass series, the epic adventure of Game of Thrones, and a unique hero's journey, you'll love Book #1 of the Light and Darkness series.
       
      Download your copy of RULED BY SHADOWS and dive into an action-packed, emotion-filled Epic Fantasy Romance about the power of courage and love.
