The Shadow's Grasp

by Courtney Lillard

Overview

Demons and their illegal magic are dangerous. Even as a child, Coura was aware of these facts. That didn't stop her from striking up a deal with one.

Years later, as a gifted dark mage and trained combatant, she believes fate will lead her to serve in the kingdom's army. A visit to the capital city alongside her mentor, Byron, exposes her to the world outside of their academy where she befriends an herbalist, an assistant general, and even the crowned prince. However, the journey home tests her physical and mental fortitude when the group is attacked by angels, the so-called protectors of humanity.

Coura finds words won't save them as the secret locked away within herself is forced to the forefront. Can her supposedly evil power stand up to that of legend? Will she be prepared for the repercussions of her past decision, or is she destined to be swept away by the consequences?

About the Author

Lillard is originally from Wisconsin, but traveled around the Midwest with her husband for school. Currently, the pair live in Nebraska. She earned both her B.A. and M.A. in Communication Studies and began writing shortly after. The Dark Angel series is her first adventure as an author. The Shadow's Grasp was published in January of 2021, but edited and re-released as a second edition with a new cover in July of 2021. Its sequel, The Guardian's Deception, will be releasing on September 14, 2021. She is working on the first draft of the sixth book of this series and plans to publish them over the next three to four years with two releasing every year. Outside of writing, Lillard enjoys reading from fellow indie authors while sunbathing by the pool, going for walks, playing video games with her husband, and spoiling their cat, Scarlett."At first, I wrote for fun and nothing else because I never expected to publish the complete series. I still write for fun, but I think a lot of people get lost in the marketing process, especially if they aspire to become a full-time author. My stories are for myself first and foremost: If I can capture a reader's attention and entertain them until the last page, then I've succeeded in my duty as a writer." -Courtney Lillard
