The Shadow Ledger

By Christy Mannering

Some debts are written in shadows-and not all can be repaid.

When best friends Kiera Allison and Paige Brighton thought they had escaped the Shadow Realm, Fern Glade seemed safe again. But dreams whisper of a ledger that records names, bloodlines, and bargains with darkness. Paige begins to hear echoes of her fae parents, trapped in the Stillworld. Kiera feels the strain of her dual inheritance-light and shadow pulling her in different directions. And Harvey June uncovers patterns in his father's journals that suggest the coven's greatest threat is not outside the glade, but within.

As old secrets unravel, Fern Glade's wards weaken and loyalties fracture. The Hollow Root faction of the Shadow Realm has been playing a long game-one that began before Kiera was born, and one that now threatens to claim Paige, Kiera, and everyone they love.

The Shadow Ledger is a contemporary fantasy steeped in folklore, friendship, and the peril of choices that echo across generations. Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric small-town magic, fae mythology, dark fantasy, and character-driven coming-of-age stories, this second book in the Fern Glade Series blends mystery, romance, and supernatural suspense into an unforgettable tale.
