Why does the forbidden voice from the city's haunted area feel like home?

Skycrest, 2039 — a futuristic city where the gap between rich and poor is larger than ever, technology leaves no room for humanity, and corrupt governments fight for power — makes the perfect playground for an ancient intergalactic war.

Gwen and Elena, two best friends with contrasting personalities and moral codes, find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict bigger than humanity when a trip to the most dangerous area of the city leaves Gwen’s dreams haunted by a mysterious shadow woman. After making a decision she can’t come back from, she discovers her nightly visitor is actually a vengeful alien spirit — her cruelty as immense as her power — with disastrous plans for Earth. Elena tries to save Gwen — and the world — from her growing obsession, but how do you save what feels at home in the darkness?

Soft sci-fi meets dark urban fantasy in a near-future dystopia that may be closer than we’d like to admit. Expect morally gray characters, reluctant alliances, shadowy alien entities, and a sapphic slow-burn that stretches all the way into the sequel. Shadow Girl is the first book in the Shadow Trilogy.
