Magic is illegal under the mountain, but one warlock-turned-prison guard is no big deal until a baby OwlCat shows up.
Before Nulthir can take the little fella to safety, heтАЩs attacked by a stranger with a mysterious object that infects him with dark magic and kicks off a dangerous transformation.
Nulthir thought heтАЩd escaped the darkness that nearly destroyed his family, but he was wrong. That evil is turning him into a monster while he struggles to protect his friendтАЩs grandson. But the attack was just the opening move in a deadly game designed to trap a powerful young mage. Through that kid, the summoners can create an army of monsters.
Nulthir and his mind-talking OwlCats are in for the fight of their lives, even if they get to the mage first. If they fail, theyтАЩll be fodder for the next wave of monsters. Find out how they'll stop the monsters who threaten their world. Get┬аSpell of Shadow & Light┬аnow!

Spell of Shadow & Light┬аis a prequel to the Curse Breaker series. It contains all three previously published stories,┬аSpell of Wings & Glass,┬аSpell of Bone & Ash, and┬аSpell of Scales & Steel, which were published in the Magic Underground Anthologies plus an all-new novella,┬аSpell of Shadow & Light, with an extended epilogue.
Spell of Shadow & Light┬аcan be read as a stand-alone novel. No prior knowledge is necessary. The book takes place before┬аCurse Breaker Enchanted, but it mentions events and characters who appear for the first time in┬аCurse Breaker Hidden, so itтАЩs best read after that book. Otherwise, youтАЩll know more than some characters.
Scroll up to get the epic tale now. Let the OwlCats take you on an unforgettable adventure.
