Crowned In Shadows

Princess Danielle has lost everything at the hands of the Shadow King and his army of death. The start of the war cost her her home, family, and the one person she trusted most. She retreats from public life to find solace in her grief but discovers a determination to never relive the past that nearly broke her. She enlists a group of legendary warriors to train her to fight back against the darkness of the world. After months of training she finds her life once again threatened by the Shadow King. Now, she is prepared to fight for what’s left of her home and family.

Everett has continuously reaped the consequences of war since the Shadow King’s invasion. Weighed down by guilt from the choices he has been forced to make, he finds himself in self-imposed isolation. Hidden from the world, he attempts to put back together the remaining shards of his life. When he is called back to his former life at court, he is forced to wonder what the cost of war will be, and how it will affect those that he loves. Can Danielle and Everrett confront their past and make the necessary decisions to save the future of their kingdom?

About the author

Meagan Johnson

There was rarely a time when Meagan didn’t have a book in her hands or a story in her mind, constantly living in other worlds. As an indie New Adult author from Utah, Meagan continues to live with a cacophony of stories within her. When she’s not writing, Meagan can be found playing with her toddler, reading, playing video games with her husband, or trying to improve her artistic skills with sewing, painting, and drawing. She lives with her incredible husband and the sweetest daughter in the world. She also loves helping other authors through encouragement, hype, and shameless promotion. And after over a decade of hard work and soul searching she has finally produced her own debut novel, Crowned in Shadows.
