The Shadow Series
The Shadow Trilogy is a series of young adult action adventure novels written by American author Hanna M. Shields. It follows 22 year old protagonist Avalon Winters and her journey from captivity at the hands of political leader turned criminal Arthur Boleyn, to agent of the world class spy agency known as Phoenix Underground.
​
Following a decade-long war, disagreement on how to rebuild society caused many to seek a different route toward eradicating the failures of the past by training children to excel in three primary areas based on the essential requirements of the original Phoenix Trials. Now, a hundred years later, a group of radicals known as Shadow Agents roam Scotland’s largest cities, inflicting fire raids on the weak and unsuspecting.
Caught in the midst of two very different worlds, Avalon must fight to keep society from falling into their iron grip, even while the rest of the world turns a blind eye to the impending threat of their rising control.
