The Guild of Shadows

Laurie Bowler

Sinossi

Seventeen-year-old Genevieve "Gen" Thornhill never believed in fairy tales—until the night her brother, Jack, vanishes without a trace. Desperate for answers, she uncovers his secret life as a warrior in The Guild, an elite band of hunters sworn to protect the balance between worlds. Before she can make sense of it, Gen is thrust through a mystical portal into a parallel realm where myths breathe, shadows whisper, and danger lurks in every corner.

Lost in a land where reality bends and ancient magic reigns, Gen finds allies in The Guild—fierce warriors bound by duty and secrets. There's Sirus, the steadfast leader; Lila, the brilliant strategist; Eldrin, the elusive scout; Mara, the deadly blade; Ola, the silent shadow; and Eli, the healer with a heart of gold. Together, they face monstrous foes, unravel dark conspiracies, and forge a bond tested by the perils ahead.

But as Gen digs deeper, she stumbles upon a chilling truth—Morlak, a malevolent force, threatens to unravel the fragile harmony between worlds. Gen must embrace a power she was never meant to wield to stop him. As forbidden magic seeps into her veins, the lines between hero and villain blur, and a single reckless choice could turn her from saviour to destroyer.

Betrayal looms. Friendships fracture. And the battle for the realm is only beginning.

Will Gen and The Guild of Shadows stand against the darkness, or will she become the very thing they swore to fight?

Step into a world where destiny is rewritten, loyalty is tested, and the fight between light and shadow is more than just a legend.
