Long ago, before history broke in half, elder gods exiled the vengeful deity Erynis to a far corner of Earth. When Ryn is found weakened after saving the life of an innocent villager, the U.S. military mistakes the battered immortal for a feral teenager and places her in New Petersburg, a decaying city full of monsters.
In her clash with the city’s demons, Ryn is confused by her intense emotional connection with Naomi Bradford, a senator’s daughter she has sworn to protect. But while her claws can kill anything that dies (and a few things that cannot), she must also contend with the human race. They lie, they speak in riddles, and to protect her friend, the immortal must navigate the senseless rules of their flawed civilization. Worse, they are fragile—and giving her heart to one makes Ryn afraid for the first time in her eternal life.
The series
Wind and Shadow weaves a tale that fuses the ancient and the modern, where mythic creatures and divine beings collide in an unexpected romance. In a world where old gods and long-forgotten monsters still walk among us, an Old Testament monster finds himself torn between his monstrous past and a love that defies everything he’s known. She is a New Testament saint, a warrior whose hands have brought gods to their knees—but the modern world is unprepared for the kind of power she wields.
Read full series description
The series dives deep into the heart of this epic and forbidden love story, exploring the complexities of a relationship that bridges two vastly different worlds. The characters are flawed, their pasts heavy with the weight of centuries, yet they find a rare kind of solace in each other—a solace that may come at a steep cost. Their journey is more than a battle against external forces; it’s a struggle against their own natures, their fates, and the world that no longer has a place for them.
With a tone as dark as it is poetic, Wind and Shadow brings ancient myths into a contemporary setting, challenging what we think we know about love, power, and sacrifice. The series expertly blends elements of mythology with sharp, modern storytelling, drawing readers into a world where the divine and the monstrous are never as far apart as they seem. The chemistry between the protagonists is electric, as they face not only each other but the world’s rejection of their love—a love that could change the course of history, or destroy them both.
This isn’t just a tale of romance; it’s a narrative of transformation, of navigating the chasm between two worlds, and of discovering whether love can truly transcend the boundaries set by gods and monsters alike. Wind and Shadow is for readers who seek a complex, atmospheric journey into the realms of myth and the human heart, where nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
