House of Shadows
Orphaned, two sisters are left to find their own way.
Sweet and
proper, Karah's future seems secure at a glamorous Flower House. She
could be pampered for the rest of her life... if she agrees to play
their game.
Nemienne, neither sweet nor proper, has fewer
choices. Left with no alternative, she accepts a mysterious mage's offer of an apprenticeship. Agreeing means a home and survival, but can
Nemienne trust the mage?
With the arrival of a foreign bard into the quiet city, dangerous secrets are unearthed, and both sisters find
themselves at the center of a plot that threatens not only to upset
their newly found lives, but also to destroy their kingdom.

Rachel Neumeier started writing fiction to relax when she was a graduate student and needed a hobby unrelated to her research. Prior to selling her first fantasy novel, she had published only a few articles in venues such as The American Journal of Botany. However, finding that her interests did not lie in research, Rachel left academia and began to let her hobbies take over her life instead.
She now raises and shows dogs, gardens, cooks, and occasionally finds time to read. She works part-time for a tutoring program, though she tutors far more students in Math and Chemistry than in English Composition.
