Sometimes we evade the darkness. Other times it comes to us unbidden. In the wake of a direct political strike, the battered White Elm is left virtually powerless to act against their former brother Lisandro, the man now armed with their most formidable weapon, the Elm Stone. Matters are complicated by a history of resentment surrounding the council's elitist stance on 'wild' forms of magic, and compromises must be made in order to move forward. Conflicted by the truth of their pasts but bound together by recent events, Aristea and Renatus commit themselves to understanding their unruly connection and its roots in a time long before theirs. But when Aristea is burdened with a secret too heavy to share with her ally and mentor, an unexpected darkness begins to shadow her, and in her new role as Renatus's apprentice she is a reluctant player in a game started half a century before…

Autorenporträt
Shayla can't explain how she finds time to get anything done, though people often ask. Formerly a classroom teacher, she has a Masters in Editing & Publishing, and works as an academic and as an occasional editor while she completes her PhD. She also writes urban fantasy series The Elm Stone Saga. 'Chosen', 'Scarred' and 'Unbidden' are the first three in a series of six young adult titles centring on modern Irish sorceress Aristea's apprenticeship to a traditional governing magical council. The titles have sold internationally, reaping excellent reviews from readers of 'older' YA/New Adult and more contemporary fantasy. Shayla loves travel, and tries to incorporate multilingual characters into her expansive magical world and to give them a voice in their own language. She worked in a New Age store while she completed her Undergraduate and these experiences have shaped the lore of The Elm Stone Saga, but she is also a purist sci-fi nut, and this has bled into the series in the way she has developed a realistic, almost scientific style of magic for her characters to wield and explore. In her slivers of spare time, Shayla watches classic science fiction, tries to learn foreign languages, reads fanfiction and plays the Sims. And writes.
