Reviews:
"Cloaked in Shadow is a stand-out collection of dark fantasy tales—rich voices, powerful writing, and tales with twists that linger. The stories burrowed under my skin and followed me long after I closed the book. Spectacular."
Holly Lisle, author of Midnight Rain
Excerpt:
Brynn woke up with another night bruise, blue where it wasn't purple and ringed with ghostly green. She contemplated the spot on her thigh, her eyes clotted with early morning grit.
"I know that wasn't there last night. I would remember."
It matched the one on her shin and the other on her hip.
"I must have bumped into the bed or the dresser again," she said to the empty room.
Deep down, Brynn knew exactly what was going on.
She's hurting me while I sleep.
