Since the death of her twin sister two years before Charlies Hudson has drifted through life until the day her classmate goes missing.

Drawn to the disappearances by forces she can't explain, Charlie soon finds herself investigating the mysterious, alluring newcomer in town, Elias Everhart.

She knows Elias is hiding something, but what she doesn't know.

Soon his secrets will lead her to a place she never imagined: a world hiding in plain sight, made of magic, gods, and monsters-and a first love fated to fall apart

Critics Review

What happens when an ordinary teen finds herself rocketed into an overlapping world of Nordic mythology? In Noyes' case -- a breakneck story and surprising twists.

Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Soul of Shadow swept me away! I didn't want to put it down. Noyes' heartfelt characters and the absolutely sizzling romance make this a stunning romantasy that you won't want to miss.

Betty Cayouette, author of One Last Shot and creator of Bettyu2019s Book Lis

Oh cool... I'm in love with a fictional subhuman bad boy again. This shimmering romantasy is twisty, addictive, and whimsically wicked. Emma Noyes renders worlds in colors I've never seen before, and Soul of Shadow gave me butterflies that bite.
