The Shadow Series
Avalon Winters is a criminal, but not by choice.
Kidnapped at a young age, Avalon is forced to carry out her captor’s heinous plan, setting houses ablaze in order to strike fear into the hearts of the people living in the city of Glasgow, Scotland and help him gain political influence.
After fifteen years of servitude, salvation seems nothing but a futile dream, the days leading up to their biggest offense slowly winding down. But in the midst of preparatory chaos, a young Frenchman steps onto the scene as the first apprentice to the estate in over thirteen years. Could this be an answer to prayer? Or is it just another asset to the impending success of their nefarious goal?

What is 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.
But when their evasive means to achieving these objectives were finally discovered, they were believed to be shut down until almost fifty years later when signs of their survival began to show through the regular occurrence of fire raids throughout both of Scotland’s largest cities.
Now 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.
