Description:
Eighteen-year-old Ashlyn
is one interview away from her future when she first sees the demons. She
thinks she’s losing her mind, but the truth is far more frightening: she can
see into the Darkworld, the home of spirits - and the darkness is staring back.
Desperate to escape the
demons, Ash accepts a place at a university in the small town of Blackstone, in
the middle of nowhere - little knowing that it isn’t coincidence that led her
there but the pull of the Venantium, the sorcerers who maintain the barrier
keeping demons from crossing from the Darkworld into our own world.
All-night parties, new
friendships and a life without rules or limits are all part of the package of
student life - but demons still stalk Ash, and their interest in her has
attracted the attention of every sorcerer in the area. Ash is soon caught
between her new life and a group of other students with a connection to the
Darkworld, who could offer the answers she’s looking for. The demons want
something from her, and someone is determined to kill her before she can find
out what it is.
In a world where
darkness lurks beneath the surface, not everyone is what they appear to be…

About The Author:
Emma Adams spent her childhood creating imaginary worlds to compensate for a
disappointingly average reality, so it was probably inevitable that she ended
up writing fantasy and paranormal for young adults.
She was born in Birmingham, UK, which she fled at the first opportunity
to study English Literature at Lancaster University. In her three years at
Lancaster, she hiked up mountains, skydived in Australia, and endured a
traumatic episode involving a swarm of bees in the Costa Rican jungle. She also
wrote various novels and short stories. These included her first publication, a
rather bleak dystopian piece, and a disturbing story about a homicidal duck
(which she hopes will never see the light of day).
Now a reluctant graduate, she can usually be found in front of her
writing desk, creating weird and wonderful alternative worlds. Her debut
novel The Puppet Spell, published in January 2013 by Rowanvale
Books, is a fantasy tale for young adults and the young at heart, featuring
disappearing uncles, invisibility potions and chimeras.
Emma also writes dark and creepy supernatural novels for older teens and
adults. Her next book, Darkness Watching, is the first in the
upper-YA/New Adult Darkworld series, and was published in
October 2013 by Curiosity Quills Press.
