We all know the archetype. The Light is good, and the Dark is evil. But not in The Timely Death Trilogy. After an ancient war between the lights and the shades, two descendants from each clan must fight to the death for their people. As if living a double life as a human and a supernatural creature wasn’t enough, Eric Welborn—also know as Shoman—is one of these descendants. A regular seventeen-year-old during the day, a prince of shades at night, Eric isn’t sure if he feels anything . . . until he meets her. The nameless shade and Jessica appear in the small Midwest town of Hayworth at the same time, and Eric finds his life threatened in a completely different way. Jessica does too. With her mysterious, orphaned past, she isn’t confident about what kind of world she is getting herself into, but she is sure it is where she belongs . . . even though it’s more deadly than either two could’ve imagined. Fate, love, and lies await them, and the two must rely on each other if they want to survive.
