Book excerpt: This heart-racing two-in-1 by fantasy author Jayde Brooks includes the director’s cut of Daughter of Gods and Shadows, previously published, and the next brand-new novel in the trilogy, City of Dark Creatures!

A truly formidable demon is gunning for her; a zombie-like pandemic is spreading across the country; and there is the mysterious, handsome stranger with powers of his own who claims to have been her lover from a time and a life that Eden cannot remember... City of Dark Creatures Eden had done the impossible—defeated Sakarabru and saved the world from complete annihilation. Yet the demise of the great demon was not enough. With his Brood army still on the loose and a powerful replacement ready to step in, the world is in greater danger than ever before. But not all enemies are outsiders...
