The first three books in The Darkling Chronicles... Shadow Blues LOVE As a darkling shadowcaster, Anka casts shadows in the human world, harnessing some of the earth's UV light to bring back to Montenai-a world full of darklings, nymphs, satyrs, phantoms, sprites, and dragon lords. She battles the strict rules set by the Shadowland Council. Torn between her world and that of her human charge, she must defy the Council or turn her back on love. Shadow Fire COURAGE Bianca has always been a law-abiding darkling, unlike her younger sister, Anka. To protect her sister, Bianca harbors some dark secrets. When a deadly illness called Shadow Fever strikes the village, Bianca fears her own rule-breaking has caused a fatal imbalance in the world of Montenai. She hasn't been doing her job, her duty, and the dragon lords suspect. An unlikely ally offers to help, but can she trust him or should she brave the heat alone? Shadow Thief SURVIVAL Natcha is a creature of fire, drawing in shadow to cloak herself from the dangers of the world. The sea cliffs of Montenai are her home, the Aglatian Sea her playground, and the phantoms her family. All her life, she has hidden in the Faunlier Mountains with her sister Nalene. Only the oath she swore as a child to a darkling father to watch over his son draws her toward the growing turmoil in Shadowland. But when power and love collide, can either really win?

With the police and a killer hot on her trail, can she solve the mystery of being First Born or will family secrets prove deadly?

The last two books in The Darkling Chronicles... Shadow Ice SACRIFICE So much pain to bear for something new to come. Despite a rocky start in life, Nalene has survived twenty years in the sea cliffs of the Aglatian Sea. She struggles daily to master her water energy rather than succumb to it. An icy constitution has forced her to rely on her sister for care, protection, and guidance. But the tides are turning and powers shifting in Montenai. Once a sickly creature with no purpose, Nalene emerges a strong, willful guardian. This reclusive orphan has everyone's attention, including a new seer who predicts "only one can survive" the battle to come. Challenged by dragon lords, championed by outcasts, Nalene meets strife at every turn. As a crisis of faith wages within her, she forges ahead because she won't give up on hope. What is she willing to sacrifice to fulfill her destiny? Shadow King HOME A family tragedy at the age of twelve thrusts Serena into the world of shadowcasting. She relishes the dragon lords' protection and training but loves her new job and human charge even more. Because of her great-great-grandfather's alliance with a vicious nymph queen, Serena finds other Montenaians refuse to trust or accept her. It doesn't help that she has the same birthmark and orange spark in her eyes as the relative who brought shame to the Brisson name. Stepping through the portal to Paris allows Serena to escape her family's reputation as well as her mother's harsh traditions. Every day Serena pushes to be "worthy of the dragon," regardless of her brother warning her the path leads to horrible loss. For years, the lore of dragon and astrei has molded the practices and beliefs of Montenaians. No one has felt this more than the phantom, Serena. This Drifter's history is the key to Shadowland's fate. Can she protect them from a dangerous future and still find her way home?
