Short description

In the city of Poisonwood, the Shadow Army exists to protect the citizens of this prosperous municipality. Its members are the loyal sons of the city, strong and cunning, forbidden to love, but always ready to fight, defend and keep Poisonwood safe from outside enemies. It is only when Scarlett Winchester, an uptown maid, encounters one of these elusive men that things begin to change.

Extended description

Meet the Shadows - the silent, hidden protectors of Poisonwood city, rooted deep in its cobbled streets and rain soaked alleyways. Dancing on a knife edge of danger, only the bare minimum level of communication with citizens is allowed and love is strictly forbidden.

Scarlett Winchester, an uptown maid who has tired of her directionless life, encounters one of the Shadow Army's most elusive members. In William she finds mystery and adventure - an escape from the dreary life that she has come to resent. In a city plagued by outside dangers, Scarlett must learn to find the courage to be everything she had never dared to be.

As Scarlett fights her own personal demons, the Shadow Army must fight to defend Poisonwood from the attacks of their enemies. From violent street battles, to airship attacks, the Poisonwood Shadow's trilogy follows the lives of a group of people whose power and dreams tie into the army's history in ways they would never have imagined.
