Just over a week left until my brand new epic fantasy lands in your hands or on your e-reader! The Curse of Broken Shadows hits Amazon on October 5, and you can preorder it now so it downloads straight to your reading device at midnight. This 744-page series starter is packed full of incredible things that you do not want to miss! Just look at a few of these early reviews.

There’s so much packed into this book that you’re going to be hanging on the edge of your seat the entire time! We have love, friendship, found family, mystery, magic, snarky leads, enemies to lovers, and some fun fight scenes that may or may not turn flirty.

What else can you look forward to with book 1 in the Smoke and Shadow series?

1 — A mysterious wall made of extinct magic

Hundreds of years ago, the other magic kingdoms turned on Valisea (the shadow kingdom). To protect her people, the shadow god Ryia created the Veil-a wall of purple and black obsidian-just outside Valisea. The problem? Only the pure shadow-kind can get through. If you’re unlucky enough to have another magic mixed in your blood, you’re stuck in Valisea where the other kingdoms have waged war. The shadow god didn’t even bother to save the non-magic users who worship her (known as Veil Worshippers).
