"Dad was obsessed with demons, so I decided I would be too. I think a part of me wanted to show him how much I hated his obsession. I discovered all about the seven tribes, and the Shanka fascinated me the most. On my eighteenth birthday, in an obstinate show of my coming into independence, I performed a spell that would call the Shanka to me."

Out of the Shadows: A Witching Pen Series Prequel
Dark fiction | supernatural horror | dark fantasy
Paperback
Seductive and relentless, Darius feeds on Katherine's rebellion like a vampire feeds on blood, with predictable and devastating consequences.
The only person with any hope of reaching her is Gwain, a fallen angel appointed to guard her by her father. But even he is struggling to make her see sense ... until an unexpected healing ray of light appears, demanding her courage, and changing the course of Katherine's future forever.
This supernatural dark fiction novel explores Katherine's relationship with her father, with Gwain, and with the darkness inside her, also adding new depth to the events leading up to Elena's birth. It contains themes of an adult nature, including sexual themes. It is probably best read after the four main books of The Witching Pen Series so the nuances of the relationships are understood better.
