Curse of The Highlands: Book 2: Shadow Within

Book two of the "Curse of the Highlands" series. A gripping fantasy novel with a blend of elemental magic, spirit guides, ancient evil, and stone circles. Suitable for YA and Adult readers. Sarrenport is ash. Trapped in the marshlands south of the river, Geneivia and her father are in a race against time to survive. Before winter deepens, they must get to safety, and more importantly, north of the river, for a shadow still moves against the Highlands, working to free the Dark One, long Bound beneath the earth. Geneivia's sister, Brenda, refuses to believe Geneivia is dead, and is determined to find her. Returning to Sarrenport with Terin, they begin to uncover the truth of who is behind the attacks, but every step they retrace brings them closer to peril, and the shadow within that is ever-lurking.
