Indulge your vices in the City of Sin, where a sinister street war is brewing and fame is the deadliest killer of them all...

On the quest to find her missing mother, prim and proper Enne Salta became reluctant allies with Levi Glaisyer, the city’s most famous con man. Saving his life in the Shadow Game forced Enne to assume the identity of Seance, a mysterious underworld figure. Now, with the Chancellor of the Republic dead and bounties on both their heads, she and Levi must play a dangerous game of crime and politics... with the very fate of New Reynes at stake.

Thirsting for his freedom and the chance to build an empire, Levi enters an unlikely partnership with the estranged son of mafia donna Vianca Augustine. Meanwhile, Enne remains trapped by Vianca’s binding oath, playing the roles of both darling lady and cunning street lord, unsure which side of herself reflects the truth.

As Enne and Levi walk a path of unimaginable wealth and opportunity, new relationships and deadly secrets could quickly lead them into ruin. And when unforeseen players enter the game, they must each make an impossible choice: To sacrifice everything they’ve earned in order to survive...

Or die as legends.

Amanda Foody

Amanda Foody’s world is one where magic pulses through every page and every character has a story worth telling. A writer who blends her love for intricate plots with a fascination for fantastical realms, she’s carved out her own niche in the fantasy genre. Whether she's inventing complex magical systems or diving deep into the emotional landscapes of her characters, Amanda’s writing captivates readers with its heart-pounding energy and an almost lyrical sense of adventure.

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Amanda’s early years were spent crafting stories filled with wonder, magic, and the occasional monster. After earning a degree in English Literature from the College of William & Mary, she returned to the page with a fierce determination to share the worlds she built in her head with readers around the world.

In her debut The Shadow Game series, she introduced readers to a high-stakes world of magic, treachery, and dangerous alliances—a hallmark of her storytelling style that combines deep emotional connections with breathless action. Since then, Amanda has built on that foundation with works like All of Us Villains, co-authored with Christine Lynn Herman, which quickly became a fan favorite for its unique spin on the YA fantasy genre. Her works have found a home in top literary circles, including publications like Buzzfeed, Popsugar, and Culturess.

What sets Amanda apart in the crowded field of fantasy is her knack for creating nuanced characters and morally complex worlds. Her stories often explore themes of destiny, power, and identity, weaving together intense personal stakes with wide-reaching, world-changing conflicts. It’s this blend of deep character exploration and high-stakes drama that leaves readers eagerly anticipating what comes next.

When she's not bringing her next magical world to life, Amanda enjoys culinary experiments (with a particular affection for cooking up recipes inspired by her books) and sharing her creative journey with her readers.

As she continues to expand her magical universes—Wilderlore fans can look forward to The Night Compass in 2024—Amanda Foody remains one of the brightest voices in modern fantasy. If you’re looking for sweeping adventures, unforgettable characters, and a touch of magic in every corner, Amanda’s books are waiting for you.
