Shadow Leopard
Fire Witch. Shadow-Leopard. Dragon Mate.
Mikaela was a fire witch born with a power almost impossible to control. She was also a shifter without a leopard. She’d learned to control the first and to live without the second. Then she was kidnapped by a serial killer, tortured in the Shadow Realm and returned to her friends and family immeasurably changed.
Now she’s a fire witch whose flames are crackling with ice and a power she no longer controls. She’s a shifter with a leopard born in shadows who wants nothing to do with her. And she’s a student at Darkmore Academy, where she must learn how to control her magic, how to connect with her feral leopard, and how, dear goddess, to deal with the crazy dragon who claims he’s her mate.
It will take Mikaela, her dragon mate and all their friends to fight off the darkness that stalks them from the shadows, the Shadow Killer who once wreaked havoc across the realms.
Note: Shadow Leopard was originally published under the title, Monster's Madness, as part of the Blackthorn Academy shared world. It has been lightly revised for re-release as part of the stand-alone trilogy, Darkmore Academy.
