Shadow Winged

2021

The dark gods of my people are back, and they’re hunting the shadow-winged—like me. Being a bush pilot is the third most dangerous job in the world. I’m Piper Tikaani, and I take that in stride. As an Inupiaq Raven Clan shapeshifter—flying is second nature, whether in my supernatural form or tackling the skies in my Super Cub. Strong winds, rugged terrain, and rough clients are all the excitement I need. But when a family friend is found dead on the roof of his wilderness cabin, I find myself caught in a world of hidden treasure and a new, dark reality. Now the people I love hide things from me and ancient, terrifying beasts stalk the land. To survive, I must discover the truth about the treasure, my clan, and myself—which means exposing my secret to the very creatures hunting me: ice age were-predators determined to see me dead.

Shadow Wolf

2021

Dr. Frederick Burns, werewolf and cryptozoologist, did not expect to find a new cryptid today. He planned to trek back to his friends and his plane—if he survived his foolish jump out of a doomed helicopter. Instead he gets a snarky swan and an Inuit monster. What else could possibly go wrong?

Shadow Strife

2022

A dangerous job, trickster gods, monsters, and magical artifacts are just extra. Alaskan bush pilot, Piper Tikaani, can’t seem to stay out of trouble. First, it was werewolves and ancient ice age werepredators. Now it’s worse. The old gods of her people have come back to play. Only their idea of fun is world ending. Worst of all, it appears that Piper’s dad was the one who invited them. Her alliances are few—two werewolves and a part-time witch. She still hasn’t solved the death of her family friend, discovered where her boyfriend’s fortune in gold came from, or why he was kidnapped. One thing is clear though, all three issues are related. She never claimed to be a detective. All she wants to do is finish her air transport season, hang on to her werewolf boyfriend, and keep them all alive. But the trickster Raven is back, and he’s up to his old ways. Unfortunately for Piper, the only magic she has to fight her enemies is shapeshifting. That’s only ever gotten her in more trouble. What does a pilot have to do to stay off the radar? This is the action packed sequel to Shadow Winged. If you like unique Urban Fantasy based on Native Alaskan mythology along the lines of Patricia Briggs, CE Murphy, and Faith Hunter, you’ll love this new series!

Shadow Witch

2022

A dangerous job-ancient demons, werewolves, and magical artifacts are just extra. Branwyn Brigid O'Connor likes to tell herself she is not a witch, she's just a Welsh/Irish woman with some magic to sling around. However after being flung into a supernatural war, and being shot multiple times, she might be ready to rethink that. Now she's almost recovered physically, but emotionally she's still a wreck. Suffering from PTSD doesn't make it easier to choose what to do with her life, let alone how to choose between the two men she's attracted too: Jed, the steady if boring swan shifter, or Fred the ancient, immortal werewolf. It may not matter because she's being hunted by a Native Alaskan god, or is it a demon? Regardless of who Bran chooses, she'd better get her act and her magic together soon. She's about to face the battle of her life and there's a good chance that if she survives, it will change her forever. If you like unique Urban Fantasy based on Native Alaskan mythology along the lines of Patricia Briggs, CE Murphy, and Faith Hunter, you’ll love this new addition to the Shadow Winged series!

Jilleen Dolbeare is the author of the Shadow Winged Chronicles, an urban fantasy series about a shape-shifting bush pilot in Alaska. She loves riding horses, warm ocean beaches, and long walks in the mountains, none of which she can do in the Arctic, so she writes. Her activities are riding her four-wheeler on cold ocean beaches (often frozen or covered with ice), and long walks to and from work when it’s 40 below—in the dark. She does keep her stakes sharp for those vamps that show up during the 67 days of night. Jilleen lives with her husband and two hungry cats in Barrow, Alaska where she also discovered her love and admiration of the Inupiaq people and their folklore.
