House of Shadows

For twenty years, Iryssa has lived in the Pit: a prison where humans are raised beneath the watchful gaze of the Shadowseers and sold to the highest bidder when they come of age.

She has spent her life dreading the Auction, but nothing prepares her for the moment Seren's only Nightlord arrives and places a bid no one dares challenge.

Torn from everything she's ever known and thrust into the world of shadows, Iryssa finds herself serving Demien Grey, the city's most feared resident. Determined to hate him, she quickly discovers that the Nightlord is hiding secrets of his own, and that the shadow world is far more dangerous than she imagined.

When a string of murders leaves Shadowseers dead and evidence begins pointing toward her, Iryssa is forced into an alliance with the very man she distrusts most. To clear her name, she'll have to uncover the truth behind the killings before the real murderer strikes again.

But some secrets are buried deeper than murder, and the shadows have been watching her for far longer than she knows.
