Love, magic, gods, and monsters collide in this thrilling Norse mythology inspired romantic fantasy for fans of The Vampire Diaries and Atlas Six.

Charlie Hudson is just trying to survive junior year, navigating the halls of school and the chaos of parties like a ghost. But her world is about to become seriously transformed—like world shifting altered—when a classmate mysteriously disappears into the forest, leaving only a pair of shoes and strange symbols carved into a tree.

Drawn to the disappearances by forces she can’t explain, she finds herself investigating the mysterious, alluring newcomer in town, Elias Everhart. With piercing eyes and sharp wit, he dances around her questions, only intriguing her further. Elias has a secret. More than one.

But what Charlie doesn’t know is that those secrets will lead her to a place she never imagined: a world hiding in plain sight, filled with enchantments, mythic beings, hidden dangers—and a first love fated to fall apart.

In Emma Noyes's Soul of Shadow, truths and temptations lurk in the darkness, and for Charlie, the only thing more dangerous than facing her past, is the boy with the power to change her future.

"Soul of Shadow swept me away—I didn’t want to put it down. Noyes’ heartfelt characters and the absolutely sizzling romance make this a stunning romantasy that you won’t want to miss."—Betty Cayouette, author of One Last Shot and creator of Betty’s Book List

“What happens when an ordinary teen finds herself rocketed into an overlapping world of Nordic mythology? In Noyes’ case—a breakneck story and surprising twists.”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
