Shadowed Fate

The Dark Ascendant Series, Book 1

By: Rowan Shane

Narrated by: Viola Lorde, Liam DiCosimo

Until my magic awakened, I didn't know Grimstone Academy, or the world of magic, existed. Now it might just destroy me.

I've always been an outcast, plagued by visions I can't explain. I've been ripped from my quiet life and thrown into a world I never knew existed, the center of a dangerous game.

Surviving this magical academy means battling bullies, uncovering forbidden secrets, and resisting the pull of five infuriatingly irresistible men: a grumpy fae warrior who acts like he hates me as much as he protects me; a silver-tongued prince who never plays fair; a golden-hearted Irish werewolf hiding a sorrow deeper than I imagined; a serious druid who sees straight through my walls; and then there's the mysterious tattooed loner who knows my darkest truths, and tempts me with even darker promises.

With every answer, new questions and dangers emerge. A shadowy king hunts me. A deadly power stirs within me. And as my connection to these men deepens, the line between ally and enemy blurs.

One thing is certain, fate has marked me for something far more than I ever imagined. And destiny always demands a price.

Contains mature themes.
