Shadows Awakening (Chronicles of Aldreda: Hope Rising, #2)

A connection so deep, not even ancient magic can keep them apart...

Daya has lived alone for over a hundred years, honoring her call to guard one of the last remaining sacred sites. When she finds an injured warrior on her mountain, her simple life is drenched in shadows. His soul calls to hers; a temptation of the deepest kind. Her vows as a guardian bind her very life-force to the mountain.

Memory gone, he has nothing except sharp reflexes, an innate ability to blend into the shadows, and a litany of scars to figure out what happened to him. As his memories resurface, he begins to wonder if it's possible for a broken warrior to choose a new life. He knows without a doubt that Daya is meant to be his mate, but her soul is bound by ancient magic.

His responsibilities as an elite warrior are clear, but he's found his dream and won't let her go without a fight. Even it means challenging the mountain's claim on her.

Rich in fantasy elements with a sweet, low-angst romance, Shadows Awakening is sure to capture your heart. Enter an enchanting world filled with magic, soul mates, and epic adventures (complete with sassy best friends and furry sidekicks). Perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce, K.M. Shea, and Maria V. Snyder.
