From the Shadows (Special Edition)

By McKenzie Burns

They left Valora for dead, abandoned in the forest with wounds too deep to survive. But they were wrong. Now, with shadows at her command and vengeance in her heart, she will hunt down the friends who became her enemies-one life at a time. Yet even power has its limits, and as obstacles rise in her path, she must rely on the last person she ever expected: Ryker Falkov, a firebender whose charm is as dangerous as his flames.

Ryker welcomed the fire that ignited within him from the moment he first wielded it. But as his strength grew, so did the darkness creeping at the edges of his mind. Only Celeste VanKessen, the one person who could feel emotions like her own, ever understood him. With her, he could be more than destruction. But as his power threatens to consume him, Ryker must decide what he truly craves: Celeste, or the inferno waiting to be unleashed.

Shadow and fire. Vengeance and power. Their paths intertwine, but will it be enough to escape the darkness haunting them both?

This special edition includes From the Shadows, its companion novella, Through the Flames, and an exclusive short story.
