Secrets, lies, and subterfuge. When Liylah Flouwers is taken in off the street by a lonely Kalsie Greer to share her run-down apartment-without-a-view, the two find themselves becoming friends. Maybe more. But both are emotionally broken. Liylah is empty without her magic and stunned by her sister’s rejection after running away. Kalsie was abandoned by her parents and is trapped working for a tyrannical organization waging civil war. It’s the two of them against the world. Liylah’s depression takes a turn for the worse when events from the nightmare world of Sojor start bleeding into reality. She desperately wants her magic back. She also wants Kalsie. She can't have both. Edge of Dawn is the second story in the Dark Innocence series and can be read as a standalone. A mix of urban fantasy, romance, and snark, the book is a mood read that explores obsession, broken relationships, and the desire to find one's place in a lonely, unforgiving world.
