Katera Rising (Shadowsoul, Book 1)

A dark fantasy-dystopian adventure of rebellion, lost magic, and a fierce fight for freedom.

For generations, humanity has been enslaved. Crushed beneath the rule of a monstrous emperor, their numbers dwindle, their hope all but extinguished—until Claire stumbles upon a long-lost legend.

Proof of its truth now rests in her hands, along with magic that could set her people free. But unlocking its power won’t be easy. Hunted by Darkmor’s creatures and trapped in a world never meant for humans, Claire must find the others who can help her—before it's too late.

Survival has always been her greatest skill. But when she crosses paths with Lexa, the fierce leader of the rebellion, she glimpses something beyond mere survival—something worth fighting for.

A war is coming.

The world teeters on the edge of destruction.

Even if they win, they might still lose everything.

Katera Rising is the first book in the Shadowsoul series, a gripping fantasy-dystopian adventure filled with ancient magic, rebellion, and an LGBTQ+ romance subplot. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, female-led uprisings, and high-stakes battles against tyranny.

Loved the story

Loved the story. Read it a while back and was excited to have it to listen to. However the narration was terrible! Very echoey and no feeling in the narration or characters. If the second and third book make its way to audible I recommend a new narrator otherwise I probably will not be interested in purchasing next installment.
