From USA TODAY bestselling author, a psychic warfare alternative history set in a gritty version of Earth. Contains strong romantic elements - a book in the Bridge & Sword World. Apocalyptic. Psychic Romance. "All what he has done, he has done for the greater good..." Following the disappearance of the infamous "Sword" and leader of the anti-human rebellion, Allie finds herself despised by every free seer in the western world, and most in the East. Hiding in an underground cell to stay alive, she struggles with yet another visage of Revik, who turns into a feral animal once free of his dark masters. She only has one shot at saving him, and it means learning more about his past than she ever wanted to know. It also means re-earning his trust, a near-impossible task given what she had to do to get him free. Meanwhile, a mysterious force rises, known only as "Shadow," boasting an army of powerful and ancient seers—seers with a darker agenda than even the Rooks. NOTE: An alternate version of this book was previously published as part of the "ALLIE'S WAR" series (this version has been revised/edited prior to re-release). Standalone novel. No cliffhanger. *Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence. Mature readers only. Not intended for young readers.* SHADOW is book 4 in the Bridge & Sword: Awakenings series - a series set in the Bridge & Sword World. It is also related to the Quentin Black World, and takes place in the wider history/world of the seers. Next in the Bridge & Sword world: KNIGHT (Bridge & Sword: Apocalypse #1) - coming soon! Or if you'd like to read more about seers, check out BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1), which occurs in a version of Earth much closer to our own. THE BRIDGE & SWORD WORLD encompasses a number of dark, gritty science fiction and apocalyptic story arcs with romantic (and sexy) elements, starring Alyson Taylor and her partner, dark and dangerous infiltrator, Dehgoies Revik. For fans of gritty, character-driven science fiction and fantasy worlds, filled with twists and turns and backstabbing betrayals, with heroes and villains who can be equally relatable (and sometimes the same people). The Bridge & Sword books span continents and historical periods as Allie and Revik try to save the human and seer races from destroying one another, and keep their friends and loved ones alive in the process.
