About this ebook

*This is the second book (novella-length) in The Darkling Chronicles series*

As a darkling shadowcaster, Bianca Rehmling works under the three dragon lords of the Shadowland Council, casting shadows for her human charge on the earth’s plane and harnessing energy to bring back for the balance and wellbeing of her kind. She’s always been a law-abiding darkling, as opposed to her younger sister, Anka. When Anka broke shadowcasting rules over the summer, she suffered the wrath of the council, something Bianca never wants to witness again.

To protect her sister, Bianca harbors some dark secrets, ones that could cause the decline of Shadowland. When a deadly illness called Shadow Fever strikes the village, Bianca fears her own rule-breaking has caused a fatal imbalance in the world of Montenai. She hasn’t been doing her job, her duty, and the dragon lords suspect.

Family or duty? With loved ones suffering, and the dragon lords breathing down her neck, Bianca keeps her nymph friends close and her enemies…closer. When an unlikely ally offers to help, Bianca must decide if she should trust him or brave the heat alone.

Ratings and reviews

Shadow Fire – 5 Stars I was excited to jump back into The Darkling Chronicles and get to spend some time in the World of Montenai, reading about Anka’s sister, Bianca’s story. The glimpses the author gave of Bianca in book 1, Shadow Blues, were very intriguing, Bianca, the sister who always followed the rules, aghast at her little sister breaking them, yet heart broken at the punishment she’d received from the Dragon Lords, now battles with a little rule breaking herself. See what Bianca does with the balance of Shadowland in her hands.
