Ever since Sarah Weller was five years old, she has been haunted by a cloud of thick black smoke. It lived. It moved. And from its center, two glowing red eyes watched her. 
Daily nightmares of the tragedy that took her parents kept her awake. Uncertainty of how she survived plagued her thoughts. 
But a battle is brewing in the Shadow world. A place behind the thinnest of veils and Sarah is about to be pulled into it by a man she never imagined possible. 
Witches, Dragons, and shapeshifters are meant to be a thing of myths. Legends we tell children in bedtime stories. 
But, as Sarah is about to find out, everything has an origin story. 
A fight that seems impossible to win, for the sake off all living things, hangs in the balance. Will Sarah and her new guardian be able to stop the death of millions? Or will the truth tear apart everything she believed was real?
