Into the Shadows

Not everyone in the world has a shadow, and not everyone in the world has a soul.

Stolen from her parents at birth and trained in the shadow arts to be sold to the highest bidder, Audry spent the first twelve years of her life training to be a mediator between the shadow realm and the human realm. Having played elder sister to the younger children in the orphanage and witnessing first hand the horrors succumbed to by the children sold before her, Audry makes a choice: unable to abandon her found-family to the cruelty of the caregiver and his son, Audry runs and takes the children with her.

Four years later, shadow weavers are disappearing from the bowels of gothic London, and the orphanage she stole from is bent on revenge. Offered a hefty reward and the chance of freedom to venture into the shadows she has spent her life fearing, Audry signs the contract all others have treated as a death warrant. To make things even more complicated, her pesky younger siblings may have found a way to follow her. And then there's the caregiver's son, who has never quite forgotten what Audry stole from his family.
