Silence and Shadow
The sequel to Erin Beaty's buzzworthy YA medieval fantasy-thriller Blood and Moonlight, Silence and Shadow is full of swoony romance, dangerous magick, and murder. Perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco and Mary E. Pearson. After catching a killer and barely escaping with their lives, Cat and Simon arrive in the sprawling city of Londunium disguised as husband and wife to avoid suspicion. Cat looks to hone her mysterious new powers at the local Selenae university with Simon by her side, but their new home may not be the fresh start they were hoping for . . . Because once the university learns of Cat's marriage to an outsider, she is brought before the penthaemon, a council of the five most powerful Selenae, who want to erase Simon's memories to protect their community's secrets. Now Cat must choose between learning more about the heritage that was stolen from her, or staying with the boy she loves. A choice that is complicated even more when a string of mutilated bodies turns up in the woods outside the city, and Simon is recruited to profile the killer. Soon Cat is pulled back into a world of magick, mayhem, and murder--one that threatens to swallow her, and everyone she loves, whole.
