Shadowy.
That was Shadow's existence for five thousand years - until she learned in order to step out of her mother's shadow, she had to step into her own.
Shadow is tired of the sameness of every day in Pohjola, and being kidnapped by heroes and villains who care nothing about her. After her latest kidnapping, she returns to Pohjola with a new resolve to escape her mother's control, and begins a rebellion with her sisters. Determined to become her own person, and prove she can take care of herself, Shadow strikes a deal with Louhi, Goddess of Witchcraft and Death.
Shadow is finally free, but the stakes are high, and her poorly chosen words make every day a risk.
Travel to Pohjola - Louhi's domain, meet some of Shadow's sisters, the Maidens of Pohjola, and discover how Shadow became Viktoria.
This paranormal short story is about the deal Shadow made with her mother, and serves as a companion work to the Vampires & Strygoi Witches series.
About the author
I love to travel, read, and think of ways to complicate my characters' lives. I have two borrowed cats who take shameless advantage of my good nature. Hopefully you find my characters a lot more entertaining than I am. :)
I'll be honest here - I don't really like social media, or trying to keep up with a bunch of different accounts. And, do you really want me spending hours every day trying to be witty on several different platforms, or do you want me getting on with writing the stories?
The best way to find out what's going on with the series, and me, is to sign up for the newsletter. Once a month, I'll have news, surveys, freebies, contests, and random news about things going on with me that may or may not be interesting.
