Cinders of Yesterday
Legacy of Shadows: Book 1

Monster hunter Dani Black wants revenge

A year ago, the rogue Necromancer Spectre murdered her partner during a hunt gone wrong, and she's been looking for a way to kill him--and keep him dead--ever since. When rumors of a weapon capable of killing anything surface in Dawson, Maryland, she sets out on a mission to get her hands on it. While unraveling a web of clues about her past, Dani runs into Emilie Lockgrove, daughter of a magical family who are somehow tied to Spectre.

Emilie Lockgrove wants answers.

Ten years ago she survived the catastrophic fire that killed her mother, and hospitalized Emilie and her sister. Now, she’s returned to Dawson expecting to confront her trauma and move on. Instead she discovers magic is real and encounters ghosts, monsters, and the necromancer who has hunted her family for generations.

Dani intends to kill Spectre or die trying.
Emilie wants to reclaim her magic & memories.

To survive they’ll need to work together to confront their past, break the spell holding back Emilie’s magic, and destroy Spectre once and for all.
