Thief With No Shadow: A Dark Fantasy Romance
About this ebook
In a world where the ordinary and the extraordinary co-exist, a young woman must right a wrong—or die trying.
Melke is a wraith, able to walk unseen. Feared by all, hunted and hated, she has lost everything—except her younger brother. Now she is forced to do the unthinkable: in exchange for her brother’s life, she must steal a priceless necklace.
But the theft unleashes devastating consequences and undoing her crime may cost Melke everything. The necklace she stole lies deep within a salamander’s den, a place of fire and torment from which no thief has ever returned.
Melke intends to survive the flames—but courage alone may not be enough to save her.
Brimming with rich worldbuilding and morally complex characters—including a hero who can speak with dogs—Thief With No Shadow weaves magic, sacrifice, and love into an unforgettable adventure.
This multi-award-nominated standalone fantasy is perfect for fans of Juliet Marillier, Anne Bishop, and Robin Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy, with its blend of dark romantasy, slow-burn longing, reluctant heroes, and wise, eloquent animal companions.
“An addictive story…Pleasingly standalone, gorgeously indulgent and hopelessly romantic.” ~SFX Magazine
“Dark and compelling.” ~Nalini Singh, NYT bestselling author of the Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter series.
