Shadows Chant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068462047)

In the silent, echoing halls of a children's home, young Aeona is a ghost of her former self. Trapped in a world of grief and isolation, she is haunted by the memory of a tragic accident that left her burdened with a guilt she cannot escape. Each day is a battle against the relentless ghost of her past, until she finds an unexpected kindred spirit in Nyxa, a girl whose heart beats in time with the dark and mysterious.

Together, they build a fragile refuge in the corners of their world, weaving tales of shadows and whispering secrets that offer a fleeting comfort. For a moment, Aeona dares to believe in the possibility of hope. But grief is a door, and theirs has been left ajar. From the very pages of their book of shadows, a sinister presence emerges-a character from their stories made terrifyingly real.

This being, born of the deepest darkness, has sought her out, insisting that only Aeona can aid it in a perilous quest. As the line between their whispered nightmares and waking reality begins to dissolve, Aeona is forced to a precipice. She must decipher if this entity is a saviour sent to pull her from despair, or a curse that will finally shatter what remains of her soul. To find out, she must journey into the heart of the shadows and face what lurks there, discovering if her own broken spirit is strong enough to bear the darkness.
