“Things used to be so much simpler, back when the Magic Council wanted me dead.”

Once considered an abomination of magic, Dragon Born mage Alex Dering has spent most of her life concealing what she is from the world’s other supernaturals. But now, finally, she and all the other Dragon Born are free.

Freedom is not all it’s cracked up to be.

Between the untimely return of a sinister, long-lost enemy, and Alex’s impending final battle with a centuries-old organization of supernatural haters, she is in desperate need of allies. Unfortunately, the allies she was counting on, the world’s most powerful magic dynasties, have chosen this exact moment to collapse into civil war.

Besieged by betrayals, Alex and her assassin lover will have to fight enemies and allies alike in order to save the world. But, in the end, winning this great war could cost Alex everyone she loves—and everything that she is.

Shadow Magic is the fourth book in the Dragon Born Alexandria urban fantasy series.
