Overview
Lily, only thirteen years old when her entire family was murdered and she had to suddenly become the ruler of Gehenna. Gehenna is about to be conquered by their ancient enemy, House Shadow, but how can Lily save her land when, as a girl, magic is forbidden to her? Thorn, an outlaw's son, wasn't supposed to be a slave. He never should have run away from home, leaving his mother and siblings to fend for themselves. Now he's been sold to Tyburn, an executioner, and they're headed to Castle Gloom in Gehenna, the land of undead. A sudden death brings Lily and Thorn together, inspires them to break the rules, and leads them to soar to new heights in this fantasy with all the sparkle and luster of a starry night sky.
Reviews
"If you are pining for that thrill you felt when you first discovered Harry Potter, let me recommend Shadow Magic. Here is a fantasy world you will lose yourself in--with Six Great Families of magic, the nicest princess of darkness you've ever met, a peasant boy with skills to rival Robin Hood, and a supporting cast of zombies, paladins, ghost puppies, executioners, minstrels, murderers, and a giant hero bat. I defy you not to love this story."―Rick Riordan, on the English-language edition
