Dive into this darkly intense and steamy romantasy series from RITA(R) Award nominated author M.J. Scott...
In a city of magic and ancient enmities where the Fae and the human mages stand against the Night World of Blood Lords and Beast Kind, I am the Night World's most feared weapon. A wraith who can walk unseen in the night. The perfect assassin.
Rejected as soulless by my Fae mother, I was taken by a Blood Lord and raised to be his deadliest blade. He turned me into a weapon honed for one purpose, keeping me chained to the shadows by a need only he can fulfil.
Now my master is growing bolder. He wants to bring down the treaty that holds the city together. So he orders me to kill a human man. Simon DuCaine. But he doesn't tell me that Simon DuCaine, a man who wields the very light that leaves me powerless. Leaving me his captive. In his place, most men would kill me, but Simon is a man sworn to peace and he sees something in me no one else ever has.
But to take a chance at freedom, to leave the darkness and believe that the sun could love a shadow, I have to trust him as I've never trusted anyone. And hope that his actions don't tip the city into war...

What people are saying about M.J. Scott
Shadow Kin
"M. J. Scott's Shadow Kin is a steampunky romantic fantasy with vampires that doesn't miss its mark."-#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs
"Rife with political intrigue and magic, Shadow Kin is hard to put down right from the start."-Romantic Times
Blood Kin
"... just as entertaining and immensely readable as Shadow Kin. . . . Smart, funny, dangerous, addictive, and seductive in its languorous sexuality, I can think of no better book to recommend to anyone to read this summer. I loved every single page except the last one, and that's only because it meant the story was done. For now, at least."-seattlepi.com
"Blood Kin was one of those books that I really didn't want to put down...the intrigue and danger of a spy novel, intense action scenes, and a romance that evolved organically over the course of the story. . . ."-All Things Urban Fantasy
