About this ebook

The internationally bestselling Witch-Hunter series continues — and the shadows are spreading.

The Shadow Witch has won her first battle.

In one devastating night, she plunged the world into darkness — cutting power, communications, and the advantage technology gave the witch-hunters. The Malleus Maleficarum Council is fractured, its numbers decimated, and the witches are growing bolder by the day.

Hunter Astley survived — just. Left for dead on the grounds of his own Manor, he wakes to a world that has fundamentally changed. The war is no longer a secret battle fought in the shadows. It is out in the open, and humanity is losing.

But Hunter carries his own secrets. His 7th generation bloodline has awakened powers that no witch-hunter should possess — powers that mark him as something other, something feared even by his own allies. With the MMC in chaos and witches hunting him across Europe, Hunter must push his abilities further than ever before, forging unlikely alliances and searching for answers in the strangest of places.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Witch is discovering that power comes at a price. Doubts are creeping in. The destiny she was born to fulfil is not as certain as it once seemed. And a truth she cannot ignore threatens to unravel everything she has fought for.

Two sides of an impossible war. And a reckoning that neither can escape.

The Shadow Reigns is the explosive second instalment in K.S. Marsden's internationally bestselling Witch-Hunter trilogy — darker, bigger, and more gripping than ever.

Ratings and reviews

In the second installment of the Witch-Hunter trilogy we find the world dealing with the catastrophic aftermath of the witches’ revolution. The remaining witch-hunters and the army form an alliance to plot the downfall of the powerful Shadow Witch and her followers. Hunter and his stalwart companions are tasked with the search for MMC survivors. As Hunter embraces his newly realized anti-magic abilities, will his inexperience with these skills impede their chances for success in the ongoing war? It’s a well written story that covers a range of emotions and features plenty of drama, action, intrigue, and suspense. While I may have found this story to be slow-going at times, I’m looking forward to The Shadow Falls for the conclusion of this entertaining tale.
