What if the real predator wasn't out there, but close to home?
City of Spirits and Hindrances
Combining the dark, feminist energy of Iron Widow and adult-level complexity and elements of urban fantasy of The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, City of Spirits and Hindrances is about a young woman's search for answers for her missing sister in a college town filled with predators.
​
For four years, Selena has longed to know what happened to her sister since she went missing from the safety of their home. With soul-stealing Hindrances running amok, and girls disappearing around her college campus, Selena longs for safety and connection that has been long overdue in her life.
​
Yunel, a powerful spirit from Eridus, is assigned to protect Selena from being hunted by Hindrances. But his charge, Selena, is not one who is easily swayed. Lonely and walled off by her father, Yunel's charge is as stubborn as she is cynical. Somehow, Selena and Yunel must learn to trust each other despite being from different worlds if they are to overcome Hindrances and bring peace to her college town plagued by Hindrances.
