The battle of the Marked Souls begun in Seduced By Shadows continues in Forged Of Shadows…
The war between good and evil has raged for millennia, with the Marked Souls caught in the middle. But the new girl doesn’t play by the old rules…
Blacksmith Liam Niall never wanted to be a leader. Barely surviving the Irish Potato Famine, he escaped to Chicago…where he lost half his soul and gained a wayward band of demon-possessed warriors. Now, as the talyan face a morphing evil, Liam grows weary and plagued by doubt…until a new weapon falls into his hands. Her name is Jilly Chan. To save her demon-ridden soul, Liam must win her for his battle—and his bed.
Waging a one-woman war against threats to the street kids she mentors, Jilly won’t be any man’s woman…or weapon. But Liam—with his hard eyes, soft brogue and compelling hands—is a danger to her rebellious independence…and her heart.
Two halved souls sharing one fierce passion will sear a fresh scar across the city. Who’s in danger now?

– Publishers Weekly
The war between good and evil has raged for millennia, but now evil is
winning, and The Marked Souls are caught in the middle…
After an accident left her near death, Sera Littlejohn is struggling to
piece her life together again. But when a violet-eyed stranger reveals a supernatural battle veiled in the shadows, Sera is tempted to the edge of madness by a dangerous desire.
Ferris Archer takes Sera under his wing now that she is talyan, possessed by a repentant demon with hellish powers. Archer and his league of warriors have long risked their demon-shattered souls to stop darker spirits from wreaking havoc. But they’ve never fought beside a female talya before, and never in all his centuries has Archer found a woman who captivates him like Sera.
With the balance shifting between good and evil, passion and possession, Sera and Archer must defy the darkness‹and dare to embrace a love that will mark them forever…
