Shadowcast
After witnessing the brutal death of his brother at the hands of the Steward Knights, Mason Grey turns to vengeance. Using his Gifts to read and control the minds of others, he climbs the ranks of the Dark Army, determined to earn the coveted Shadowstone-a powerful tool against the light-wielding Stewards. But when he is wounded in battle, he finds himself recovering in the home of a chatty peasant girl...without the use of his Gifts. Even worse, the girl mistakes him for one of the Stewards he despises.
Seria Gayle longs to be seen as more than the town washerwoman. When she finds an injured Steward in the woods, she welcomes the chance to use her healing skills and hopes it will earn her some respect. But as she nurses the sullen stranger back to health, she discovers he is nothing like the knights she has long admired.
When Mason's true identity is revealed, Seria is devastated and humiliated. But she is offered a chance at redemption by the very prince that Mason hates. Now Mason struggles between two choices: accept the Shadowstone to avenge his brother or pursue this newfound light in the form of a peasant girl. With time running out and war looming, will Mason and Seria defy their own convictions for a chance at love or stand against one another like they've sworn to do?

"Crystal Grant has created an engaging new epic fantasy in Shadowcast. Seria-whose charm, kindness, and joy make her a memorable and fun character-dreams of someday becoming a healer. When she discovers a wounded soldier near her home, she nurses him back to health, having no idea she has aided one of the enemy in disguise. Shadowcast beckons readers into a world with complex characters, a desperate conflict, and a compelling allegory of light versus darkness. This book is a great choice for fantasy readers looking to delve into a promising new series. I'm looking forward to the next installment!"
-JILL WILLIAMSON, Christy Award-winning author of By Darkness Hid and Thirst
"Shadowcast gripped me from beginning to end. I couldn't stop thinking about the story long after I turned the last page. Crystal Grant has a way of creating characters that stay with you-I fell in love with Mason from page one! A five-star read that's sure to leave readers begging for a sequel."
-SARA ELLA, award-winning author of the Unblemished trilogy, Coral, and The Wonderland Trials
"Grant presents a strong fantasy novel with themes of light versus dark and the constant struggle between. Intriguing worldbuilding and characters make for a page-turning read that will call to readers of allegory and adventure alike."
-C. M. BANSCHBACH, award-winning author of The Wolf Prince
"Drenched in political intrigued and the neverending war between good and evil, Shadowcast highlights how one decision-whether good or bad-can change the course of another's life. Yet the reader learns that although we may feel cornered by the darkness, there is always a light to be found."
-V. ROMAS BURTON, award-winning author of the Heartmaker trilogy and Fortified
"A beautifully compelling tale of the consequences of light and dark, good and evil. Shadowcast had me hanging on the edge of my seat!"
-AJ SKELLY, bestselling author of The Wolves of Rock Falls series, and Magik Prep Academy series
"Like its title, Shadowcast weaves themes of hope and light into the tapestry of a dark world torn apart by the ongoing battle between good and evil. The sweet romantic tension between a grumpy, reluctant hero and a brightly resilient heroine kept me turning those pages! Throw in a conflicted prince, a lot of secrets, and Grant's thoughtful magical worldbuilding, and Shadowcast truly becomes an epic adventure full of spiritual truths with a love story worth rooting for."
