If you’d like to get a taste of the world of Silver Under Nightfall, dive right on in with the first chapter.

They hurtled into another tree, Remy taking the full brunt as he slammed hard into the trunk, breath leaving him in one long, drawn-out gasp, blooms of pain popping up everywhere.Her small, white fingers trembled as she undid the laces of her gown, deliberate in their clumsiness.
