The Shadow Age
In The Shadow Age, Kim Harrison weaves a captivating tale of magic, mystery, and unexpected transformation. The series is set in a world where magic is both a gift and a burden, and where those who wield it are often forced to confront dark secrets they would rather leave buried. In the first book, Three Kinds of Lucky, Petra Grady is a woman who has long accepted that she lacks the magical talents her world values. She’s a sweeper first-class, content to stay out of the limelight and maintain the status quo. But when a seemingly innocuous research project with the brilliant and reckless Benedict Strom pulls her into a web of danger and forbidden magic, her quiet life shatters.
Forced to confront the limits of her abilities, Petra discovers an untapped potential that threatens not only her own safety but the fragile balance of the magical world itself. With a compelling blend of urban fantasy and complex character-driven drama, the series explores themes of power, identity, and the fine line between good and evil. As Petra's world unravels, she must decide whether to accept her role in a dangerous game or risk everything to redefine her destiny.
The Shadow Age consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
