There is nothing I will not give for revenge.

Sebastian has to die. There is nothing else that matters to me. But I've been hunting him for decades and have nothing to show for it beyond a broken soul. My body is failing. And the magic that I keep changed within my soul is close to breaking free.

I can't seem to bring myself to care.

My friends, however, are unwilling to let me destroy myself in the name of revenge. I've been able to ignore their pleas to stop my mad pursuit until now. Pele offers me something I can't resist. A real chance at finding Sebastian.

So I accept what should be a simple job. Escort a bunch of magic-barren people back to their home realm so they can find their lost magic. But this place isn't the empty wasteland I was told it was.

Something still lurks there. Something monstrous... and hungry.

A Shift in Darkness is a prequel novella to the fantasy romance series Lost Legacies. It takes place directly before the events of A Shift in Shadows, but it can be read at any time.
