They promised me that fairy tales couldn't be real. And then a man made of illusion and dark magic came to take me away. My foster mother insisted I'd grow out of my overactive imagination. When I saw goblins dancing in the shadows on my bedroom walls, doctors armed with all the medication known to man tried their best to force the visions away. They always swore I was one more pill from being normal. And then my dreams became a waking nightmare. The Erlking is cruel and obsessed. He wants to play a game, with the victor claiming the only prize that matters: my body and soul. I'll have one chance to defeat him and escape this twisted dream. Otherwise, I'll be lost forever to his dark and seductive fantasy. ***The modern retelling of a fairy tale that never existed, Stolen by Shadows is a paranormal reverse harem romance for lovers of dream-like fantasy with a darker twist. Contains adult themes and may be triggering to some readers. This is the first book in a planned trilogy.***
