The Wolf's Shadow

2013

Life as she knew it is over. At the next full moon, the real trouble begins… Epidemiologist Joanie Fisher can’t catch a break. After her lab burns to the ground, her boss simultaneously fires her and ends their affair. And though she’s inherited her grandfather’s multimillion-dollar estate, Joanie’s shocked to discover the property comes infested with werewolves. Confronted by a ruggedly handsome shifter who begs her to continue her cutting edge research into the wolves’ physical changes, Joanie unearths a sinister conspiracy that puts her own life in danger. And as she pushes hard to find the cure, shadowy figures will do anything to make sure she never develops a treatment… including resorting to murder. Can Joanie end the wolfish disease before she’s next on a killer’s list? The Wolf’s Shadow is the first book in the pulse-pounding Lycanthropy Files urban fantasy series. If you like strong female characters, insidious cabals, and medical thriller-style storytelling, then you’ll love Cecilia Dominic’s hair-raising genre mashup. \\\This book was originally titled The Mountain's Shadow and was first published by Samhain Publishing in October 2013\\\

Long Shadows

2014

This time, being true to herself could be a deadly mistake. Lonna Marconi likes to solve problems. The hard kind. A social worker by day, P.I. in her “spare time,” she’s figured out how to handle her little “werewolf problem.” After a dose of wolfsbane, her physical body stays safe in bed while her wolf goes spirit walking. If only she didn’t have a mind of her own… Deep in the Appalachians, Lonna learns a family secret that means she’s unique, even among werewolves. Now she’s pursued by a rogue sorcerer with poisonous intentions, other wizards who’d like to throw her in a gilded prison, and a band of ghostly wolves thirsting for her blood. Worse, there’s only one man who can protect her, and even he demands a price: her heart. Even though his own may be forever beyond her reach. Long Shadows is the second book in the Lycanthropy Files, an urban fantasy series with the bite of a medical thriller. Each book is written to be read as a standalone, but you’ll get a fuller experience if you read them all in order. If you like hair-raising mysteries, complex characters, and stories that blend science and magic, then you'll love being transported with these transfixing tales. Note: This is the second edition of Long Shadows, originally published by Samhain Publishing in March 2014.

Blood's Shadow

2014

The disease has teeth…but the cure could be deadly. As Investigator for the Lycanthrope Council, Gabriel McCord went above and beyond his official title to keep werewolf kind out of the public eye. Now he has a new challenge as the liaison to the Institute for Lycanthrope Reversal, advocating for humans turned werewolf against their will. The Institute’s controversial “treatment” is nonetheless generally accepted – until one of the project’s scientists is found murdered at his desk. The suspect list is long: purists who believe lycanthropism is a non-returnable gift; wolf-borns who want the cure for their own; and the ethereal Selene Rial, an Institute psychologist who’s lost her most precious possession to a secret society dedicated to the annihilation of werewolves. If Gabriel fails to solve this case, the fragile peace between wizards and lycanthropes could shatter, and his friends’ lives could be ruined. But even if he succeeds, he has to face the consequences of his heart being pulled in a dangerous direction – a woman whose secrets could destroy them both. Blood’s Shadow is the third book in the Lycanthropy Files, an urban fantasy series with the bite of a medical thriller. Each book is written to be read as a standalone, but you’ll get a fuller experience if you read them in order. If you like hair-raising mysteries, complex characters, and stories that blend science and magic, then you'll love being transported with these transfixing tales. Note: this is the second edition of Blood's Shadow, which was originally published by Samhain Publishing in December 2014.
