    About this ebook

    Dark Revenge. An impossible task. A troubled teen who must find her belief in magic and in herself if she is going to live long enough to fulfil her destiny.

     

    Charley is an orphan and a loner, bullied at school and with no real friends. When she loses everything to the beasts of the Dark Master, Moloch she has no choice but to follow a mysterious girl called Violet into a strange world where magic is powered by the forces of light and dark energy, and nothing is as it seems.

    The great Crystal of Light that protects Elorysia, has been broken into eight shards by the very people who are supposed to guard it, and the hunt to find the hero of an ancient prophecy has begun. Violet seems to think Charley is that person, but Charley is determined to prove her wrong—and besides, she doesn't believe in magic.

     

    As she begins to discover the truth about her heritage, she must choose between the lesser of two evils—help Violet, or try to return to her old life. But, if Moloch is to be defeated, the shards have to be found and the great crystal artefact restored. Violet's world is in grave danger and only one person can save it.

    Will Charley learn to believe in herself and magic before Moloch destroys all light and turns Elorysia into a wasteland of darkness and death?

     

    Shadows of Darkness is the first book in the exciting new Daughter of Destiny YA Fantasy series.

     

    If you are looking for something that is "awesome", "amazing" and "a great read", you will love Kate Jones's dynamic and modern twist on a fantasy, that readers are calling a gripping, enthralling and exciting new series.

    Author

    Kate Jones

    Kate first developed her love of reading back in the days when TV's were an expensive luxury her parents could not afford and books were her only way to get lost in adventure and fantasy. Even from an early age she wanted to let her own imagination have a free rein and write something that was more than an English homework assignment - she wanted to become a published author. Her first book, Shadows of Darkness began life over 30 years ago and the manuscript has had almost as much of an epic adventure as the characters within it. Initially saved on a floppy disc in the days when that was how you saved the important stuff, it was eventually dusted off and transferred to a pc but was then lost, seemingly forever, when a relationship turned very sour. But the gods of writing had other plans and, by a miracle of memory, a copy was discovered in an old email folder along with the full story plan. It was a few thousand words short of what had been lost but most of it was saved - this book was clearly meant to be written! However, as happens, life, children and the need as a single mum to work full time and provide for her two children meant that any plans of authorship had to go on the back burner for many years. Finally, life took a dramatic turn for the better and Kate was able to ditch the 9-5 slog and think about picking up her manuscript again. What was initially going to be one book has now morphed into a series of eight - brevity in the written word was never Kate's strength but an epic adventure needs the space to develop and grow and an overly active imagination didn't help either! With the love and support of an amazing man as well as coaching from an amazing mentor, Kate is finally fulfilling her life-long ambition of becoming a best-selling author. Kate writes from the heart, from life experience and with the aim of teaching her readers, through the medium of fantasy, the lessons in life she wished she could have taught her own children. After all, the subconscious works in stories and what better way to teach than through books and a desire to read. A Yorkshire girl at heart, she now lives in the flat-lands of rural South Lincolnshire in the UK with her partner, two cats, two horses and gin...lots and lots of gin...and coffee...and chocolate...and wine...and donuts...
