Charlie Hudson just wants to get through junior year. Since the death of her twin sister two years earlier, she’s drifted through life, going through the motions at school and parties and even at home. The spark that once burned so brightly within her has all but flickered out.
Until her classmate goes missing in the forest, leaving nothing behind but a pair of shoes and strange symbols carved into a tree.
Drawn to the disappearances by forces she can’t explain, she finds herself investigating the mysterious, alluring newcomer in town, Elias Everhart. With piercing eyes and sharp wit, he dances around her questions, only intriguing her further. Elias has a secret. More than one.
But what Charlie doesn’t know is that those secrets will lead her to a place she never imagined: a world hiding in plain sight, made of magic, gods, and monsters - and a first love fated to fall apart.
In Emma Noyes's Soul of Shadow, truths and temptations lurk in the darkness, and for Charlie, the only thing more dangerous than facing her past, is the boy with the power to change her future.
"Swept me away—I didn’t want to put it down . . . A stunning romantasy that you won’t want to miss."
—Betty Cayouette, author of One Last Shot
"Twisty, addictive, and whimsically wicked."
—Daisy Garrison, author of Six More Months of June
“What happens when an ordinary teen finds herself rocketed into an overlapping world of Nordic mythology? A breakneck story and surprising twists.”
—Jodi Picoult, bestselling author
