Romance. Magic. Lies. For fans of elves, shapeshifters and elemental control.

Horner has compiled 22 short stories of dark fantasy and horror that show how some elves thrive in the darkness, stalking their unwary victims for their own twisted pleasure.

Callum needs a break from the spirits hounding him for closure--especially from the Shadow, a malevolent entity that's been stalking him. When he meets Zander it's instant attraction--and instant silence. Reeling after her parents' violent divorce, romance is not in Zander's five-year-plan, but when she meets Callum, she can't shake her feelings for him-or the instinct he is more than he seems.When Callum's newfound peace-and-quiet leads the Shadow to Zander's younger sister, Callum must risk it all to tell Zander the truth: he's a Medium, and she's a Cloak who can close the spiritual veil. All he can do is hope Zander's no-B.S. logic won't keep her from seeing she's the only one who can stop the Shadow from possessing its living victims... like her sister...And like him.

Following a lead, Zacriah and Nyah head into the forest on an expedition to cure him. When they are ambushed by the living dead--bodies controlled by shadow--covered in the Druid marks, they know the Druid did not perish in the sea as they first thought. The Druid is back, and with his return comes the threat of attack. The three known Dragori are sent on a dangerous quest to stop this dark magick before Hadrian gives into his new power, and the shadowbeings end more innocent lives.
