About this ebook

A car crash leads a gifted woman to love and danger in another realm in this paranormal romance series opener by the bestselling author of Noah.

At one with the darkness, the mysterious Shadowdwellers must live as far from light-loving humans as possible in order to survive. Yet one damaged human woman will tempt the man behind the Shadowdweller throne into a dangerous desire . . .

Worlds Couldn't Keep Them Apart

Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for. Without a stranger’s aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace’s brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him. By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla’s existence within the realm of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her—her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat . . .

After a terrifying car crash, Ashla Townsend wakes up to find that the bustling New York she knew is now eerie and desolate. Just when she’s convinced she’s alone, Ashla is confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. The bond between Ashla and Trace is a mystery to both, but searching for answers will mean confronting long-hidden secrets, and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything Trace holds precious . . .

Praise for Ecstasy

“Bestseller Frank’s intensely emotional and sensual series debut expands the universe of her Nightwalkers series . . . to include the light-shunning Shadowdwellers. . . . This romantic and strongly sexual story between complicated characters is made even richer by an intriguing secondary cast and efficient world-building that’s familiar without being lazy.” —Publishers Weekly

Ratings and reviews

The culture of the Shadowdwellers is absurd enough to be truly creative. Jacquelyn Frank knows how to tell a story very well. As with some of her other books I would say this one is a not-so-good story written very, very well. I liked it enough to finish it, although the sex was a little much, but it isn't one I can't wait to have my best friend read so we can discuss it either.

I am an experienced romance reader but this author has the ability to keep you enthralled and never once does the reader get bored. She has multiple plots and reintroduces Heroes and Heroines to break up any monotony that could possibly occur. HER imagination is awesome and she pulls off each book with a professional edge I have not experienced before from another author. I wish I could email her. I have purchased all of her digital books but I wish I had the order in which to read them. FOREVER FAN!!!

Lol lov it
