Shadows at Sunset ~ Book 1 of the Sunset Trilogy

by Tonya Royston

Overview

She never thought her ability to communicate with wild animals was anything more than a unique gift. But this gift is tied to a long history of secrets that threaten to shatter her one chance at true love...

Laken Sumner isn't your average teenager. Ever since she realized that wild animals could hear her thoughts, she's spent more time in the woods with them than with other children. Even her wolf is a better friend to her than most people. She trusts him--so much so that she follows him out into the wilderness in the middle of the night to find a lost little boy. But the boy's disappearance is only the beginning.

The one bright spot in her life is Noah Lawson, the handsome new town deputy. Charming and mature, he almost seems too good to be true. Then she meets Xander Payne, the new boy at school, who seems to know something about her. But how could that be possible?

As strange things begin to happen in her sleepy New England town, Laken wonders if Xander has something to do with it. Or is it just a coincidence that danger targets her soon after he arrives?

About the Author

Tonya Royston currently lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, son, two dogs, and two horses. Although she dreamed of writing novels at a young age, she was diverted away from that path years ago and built a successful career as a contracts manager for a defense contractor in the Washington, DC area. She resurrected her dream of writing in 2013 and hasn’t stopped since the first words of The Sunset Trilogy were unleashed. Although her days are still all business, she now devotes her nights, weekends, holidays, snow days, vacations, and any other spare minute she finds to writing. Royston also loves animals and she is planning to support various animal charities across the country through her book sales.

Editorial Reviews

Royston does a good job of character development, both for her human and animal characters. This is a coming of age story with a twist--one both YA and NA should love.

Shadows at Sunset is well written and portrays the problems that come with not only growing up and turning from a child into a woman, but also suddenly finding yourself in danger. It's a well-written story of courage and innocence--one that anyone who loves animals or who has ever been a teenager should thoroughly enjoy.
