It has been four years since a war between man and dragonkind was averted.
Ellie and her dragon Cole journeyed to the far reaches of our past to prevent it, and could not return home.

Ellie's life has become as normal as it can, for a girl who visits the home of talking rabbits.
But a darkness has been woken in the village.
Bitter memories of the past and a thirst for vengeance upon the guilty thrusts Ellie onto the path of danger, and the road to the past where answers lie in wait.

Some more boring author stuff!
I started having ideas for this story when I was in the middle of writing 'Ellie and the Dragon' at the time I had called it 'Ellie and the Witch' The main premise was a witch taking a comical revenge on the village as they were always calling her a witch, the big joke being she was a witch......not much of a joke i know! So I wrote quite a few scenes but it didn't really seem to be working.
One day after I had finished 'Ellie and the Battle' my wife saw that I was struggling with the witch story and dragged me out of the house for a cup of tea on the beach. It worked wonders and in an instant the idea transformed into what became Vengeance of Shadows. That day opened up the whole idea of what would be the consequences of having two main characters but in two separate time periods. So funnily enough rather than ditching the witch story it grew into this book where a 12 year old Ellie faces off with a witch.
Now a little warning. This story is a bit scary. I purposely set it 4 years after Seren Trilogy to reflect what I wanted to do with the characters and what will happen in the future as one thing I should mention.......this is the first book, I'm writing the second as I type :)
