The heart-pounding conclusion to Diana's story!

"Absolutely loved the opener of this gritty, sexy new series by Shannon Mayer. It's packed to the gills with action, intrigue, and paranormal badasses! Can't wait to get my hands on the next one."

"This is the most fun I've had with a book in I don't know how long! There is this amazing flair of historical, nearly Bridgerton vibes, right down to the sharp humor and sexy men. Throw in the political undertones and the tension between the main characters and I couldn't look away. Do yourself a favor, and get reading."

With a knack for blending heart-pounding action and richly layered characters, Mayer’s work transports readers to darkly enchanting realms where magic is real, and the stakes are often life and death.

Born in Canada, Mayer discovered her love for writing in her early teens, but it wasn’t until adulthood that she fully embraced her passion. What started as a hobby turned into a full-fledged career as Mayer began publishing her work in 2011, and she hasn’t looked back since. Her writing journey began with the Rylee Adamson series, an urban fantasy collection that quickly became a fan favorite. The series, which follows Rylee—a tracker with the unique ability to find anything—blends mystery, supernatural intrigue, and fierce emotional depth.

But it wasn’t just the supernatural elements that drew readers in. Mayer’s books are rich in character development, with protagonists who are flawed yet fiercely resilient, navigating their complex inner worlds as much as the dangers lurking in theirs. Whether it's Rylee’s journey in the Rylee Adamson series, or the exploration of midlife and self-discovery in the Forty Proof series, Mayer’s stories connect with readers on a deeply personal level.

Her success is undeniable. With millions of copies sold worldwide, Mayer has built a loyal fanbase and carved out a space for herself in the crowded world of urban fantasy. However, it’s not just her impressive sales that have made her a standout. Mayer’s ability to tackle serious themes like loss, identity, and healing within a fantastical context resonates with her audience. Her stories feel like more than just escapism—they offer a reflection of the human experience wrapped in the magic of the supernatural.

In addition to her work in urban fantasy, Mayer has also ventured into paranormal romance and magical adventure, with series such as The Alpha Territories and The Inkbound series gaining attention for their unique takes on familiar tropes. Her recent releases, including Gossamer and Inked in Ashes, show Mayer’s ability to constantly evolve her craft, delivering fresh and exciting stories for her growing audience.

Through every book, Mayer’s voice remains consistent—fast-paced, emotional, and utterly compelling. She writes not just to entertain, but to connect, to inspire, and to take her readers on a journey they won’t soon forget. Whether you’re drawn to the allure of supernatural creatures, the emotional depth of her characters, or the world-building that makes each setting feel alive, Mayer’s books are a window into a world where anything is possible.

Mayer’s success is a testament to her unwavering dedication to the craft of storytelling. She’s carved a niche for herself in the literary world by creating books that blend the fantastical with the deeply personal, creating worlds that are as captivating as they are transformative.
