Moonshadow
Publisher Description
From bestselling author Thea Harrison comes the first in an explosive new trilogy set in the Elder Races world….
Her past is a blank, her future uncertain….
Recovering from a shooting, LAPD witch consultant Sophie Ross leaves her job and travels to the U.K. to search for answers about her childhood. When she encounters a Daoine Sidhe knight of the Dark Court, she becomes entangled in an ancient hatred between two arcane forces.
He has given his body and soul to fight for his people….
Barred from his homeland along with his surviving brother knights, Nikolas Sevigny is embroiled in a conflict that threatens everything he holds dear. Only by uniting his people's resources can they hope to prevail against Isabeau, the deadly Queen of the Light Court. He will do anything and use anyone to return home to Lyonesse.
When Nikolas encounters Sophie, he sees a tool to be used. The insouciant witch might be the key to unlocking every passageway that has been barred to the knights of the Dark Court, even as a fascination for her takes root in what's left of his soul.
Sophie has no intention of becoming anyone's pawn, yet the fierce Nikolas is so compelling, she can't deny the temptation that endangers her guarded heart.
As magic threatens Lyonesse, Queen Isabeau unleashes her merciless Hounds, and Nikolas and Sophie become embroiled in a race for survival. Meanwhile, the passion that ignites between them burns too hot to be denied and quickly turns into obsession.
Thank goodness they both know better than to fall in love…

A rich deep world with fantastic characters
In truth, I chose this book because we share our first names… and Thea is not common! I was pleasantly entertained throughout the story. Thea made me learn who these characters were and care about who they are and will be. It’s a realistic paranormal setting. I really enjoyed this read.
I love Sophie Ross
Loved it! The world you create is awesome! Like the strong female who can hold her own! Yay!
Very nice story
I own the ebook & audiobook version of this story. Love this book! Reminds me a lot of my own marriage with regards to the relationship dynamics. Great story full of mystery, supernaturals, battle, humor, love, betrayal, & steamy well described intimate moments! The characters are likable and believable. The storyline is attention grabbing and its a story you’ll want to get back to each time you have to pause. The narrator did a an awesome job of providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.
