Shadows of the Mind
a YA fantasy novel by Della Lane
If she makes it through this night, she will never be the same again.
Penelope Waters isn’t the kind of girl boys look twice at. She isn’t the star of any sports team or the smartest kid in class. She is, as she likes to put it, boring. Exceedingly normal. And completely consumed by anxiety.
But after a lifetime of blending into the background and tiptoeing around her fears, Penny unexpectedly finds herself stumbling into a magical world that will not only test her courage, but also challenge everything she knows about her own life. A world with larger-than-life wolves. Wolves large enough to swing her onto their backs and gallop through the forest with fingers dug deep in their gruff and magic pulsing through her veins. A world full of evil and darkness, with danger unafraid to show itself in broad daylight. A world she is inextricably linked to. A world where someone wants her dead.
In order to survive, Penny must form an unlikely alliance with a boy she thought she’d never have a chance with and learn to not only trust him, but also her own instincts and powers. Powers she didn’t know she had. Powers she must accept and bind to and that very well may kill her in the process. Powers that are the reason she’s being hunted in the first place.
