They thought he was a quiet, broken boy.
They didn't see the wings. Or the war he was born for.
Seventeen-year-old Elias has always been good at hiding. Hidden bruises, hidden truths, hidden power. After a lifetime of abuse, he's forced to attend school in the eerie town of Cannisborough, where everyone thinks he's just a shy, homeschooled transfer. Fragile. Forgettable. Easy to ignore.
Except Jace Ryland isn't like everyone else.
As Beta of the local werewolf pack, Jace knows better than to question his instincts-especially when something about Elias sets every nerve on edge. There's a connection he can't explain. A pull he doesn't understand. And when Elias is pushed too far by a cruel group of students, everything Jace thought he knew is obliterated.
Wings erupt from Elias's back.
Light cracks the sky.
And the forgotten blood of a celestial warrior begins to rise.
Elias isn't human. He's Nephilim-part angel, part mystery, and entirely dangerous. Now the veil between life and death is beginning to tear, ancient forces are awakening, and Cannisborough is no longer safe.
Everyone thought Elias was the victim.
They were wrong.
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, slow-burn paranormal romance, and supernatural secrets, Where Shadows Fear to Tread is a gripping first book in a new series about identity, survival, and the divine power buried in broken things.
If you love forbidden bonds, protective shifters, and boys who burn brighter than fate allows-start reading now.

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's.
