Promise of Shadows

This YA novel follows Zephyr Mourning, a half-god assassin who's never been good at wielding magic. After using a forbidden power to save herself from death, she's on the run and discovers that she might just be the prophesied Nyx, a dark goddess who can shift the power balance. With snappy and slyly funny writing, this book explores themes of power and self-discovery, and even includes a serving of smoldering romance. Will Zephyr be able to own her power and save the world?
