Promise of Shadows

Promise of Shadows - Thryft
Promise of Shadows - Thryft

Reluctant harpy awakens power; dark humor, romance.

If you're into mythological creatures with a modern twist, "Promise of Shadows" should spark your interest. Zephyr is not your typical hero; she's a half-god struggling with her identity and powers while craving a normal life—something many of us can relate to. The book blends snarky attitudes, a drip of darkness, and an unexpected romance to keep the pages turning. It’s an urban fantasy that tackles self-discovery with a punch of wit.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A teen who is half-god, half-human must own her power whether she likes it or not in this snappy, snarky novel with a serving of smoldering romance that Kirkus Reviews calls “a dark, slyly funny read.”Zephyr Mourning has never been very good at being a Harpy. She’d rather watch reality TV than learn forty-seven ways to kill a man, and she pretty much sucks at wielding magic. Zephyr was ready for a future pretending to be a normal human instead of a half-god assassin. But all that changed when her sister was murdered—and Zephyr used a forbidden dark power to save herself from the same fate.On the run from a punishment worse than death, an unexpected reunion with a childhood friend upends Zephyr’s world—and not only because her old friend has grown surprisingly, extremely hot. It seems that Zephyr might just be the Nyx, a dark goddess that is prophesied to shift the power balance: for hundreds of years the half-gods have lived in fear, and Zephyr is supposed to change that.But how is she supposed to save everyone else when she can barely take care of herself?
