Description

There's only one thing you can do when an ancient evil crashes your book launch and threatens your mum:

Run.

When debut author Krysta Ishtar finds out her boyfriend is being held prisoner in a crumbling castle by some old guy with terrible dress sense, nothing will stand in the way of her hockey stick and a daring rescue mission through a world she never believed in.

Except maybe the bloodthirsty army she's trying to outrun, a vampire splinter group who insist on talking about her feelings, a homicidal teenage fairy and an unexpected family reunion.

But even a blossoming alliance with the unstable (and unexpectedly good looking) muse champion may not be able to save her from the deadliest peril in all Shadow:

All the bloody shiny things.
