A Shadow of Blood & Magic

The Shadowood Trilogy, Book 1

By: Daisy Hale

Narrated by: Nichole James

Through blood, she gains life. From magic, she receives power. With both, she is one.

Cassandra Woods is not supposed to exist. Fearing for her life, she flees her home, escaping punishments for the crimes she committed against the tyrannical Queen of Striga to join forces with the coven's enemy.

Leonardo Sage, a General of the Lamian army and a High member of the Clan, is assigned to watch over Cassandra. He must put his prejudice aside as he struggles with his feelings for her, but she has a secret: the real reason she left Coven, and he is determined to find the truth.

Cassandra’s life is in even more danger when an assassin, an outlawed shifter, is sent to kill her. All is not what it seems, and Cassandra must trust the Clan to protect her, but a threat from inside their own ranks surfaces, and Cassandra finds herself in the middle when she saves the life of the Prince of Lamia.

As war rages between the kingdoms, Cassandra must choose a side. The lives of the people hang in the balance, and it is up to Cassandra to save them, but will she make the right choice?

Love or loyalty. Which one will prevail?
