What happens when an ordinary teen finds herself rocketed into an overlapping world of Nordic mythology? In Noyes’ case — a breakneck story and surprising twists

Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Soul of Shadow swept me away?I didn’t want to put it down. Noyes’ heartfelt characters and the absolutely sizzling romance make this a stunning romantasy that you won’t want to miss.

Betty Cayouette, author of One Last Shot and creator of Betty’s Book List

Oh cool… I’m in love with a fictional subhuman bad boy again. This shimmering romantasy is twisty, addictive, and whimsically wicked. Emma Noyes renders worlds in colors I’ve never seen before, and Soul of Shadow gave me butterflies that bite

Shadow of Souls Book 2

Charlie Hudson now knows the truth: her twin sister is a Valkyrie, and they're both daughters of Loki, the trickster god. After saving her best friend from Elias and Loki's clutches, Charlie is summoned to appear before the god of gods, Odin, who tasks her with a mission. The Seal that protects humanity from Asgard's magic is starting to break down, and only a human can stop it. To do so, Charlie must convince her old enemy , Elias, to bring her to the underworld. As she and Elias journey to the land of the undead, undeniable attraction burns between them once again. And when they arrive, Charlie finds that Loki is not who she thought he was-and that she may be on the wrong side of this war.

Pre-order the thrilling sequel to Soul of Shadow, a Norse mythology inspired contemporary romantasy where love, magic, gods, and monsters collide with devastating consequences. 
 
-- 
 
I will make myself strong. 
I will find Elias. 
I will kill Elias. 
I will never trust a boy with my heart again. 
 
These are the vows Charlie Hudson made the day after Elias Everhart betrayed her, nearly killing everyone she loves most. 
 
One month later, revenge is still her priority, even as she navigates a harsh new reality: one where her brother and friends can now see Asgard, making them just as susceptible to its dazzling delights - and deadly dangers - as she is. 
 
But when two bodies turn up in the forest outside town, and Elias waltzes back into her life with an offer to help find out what's happening, Charlie finds herself accepting his offer—but only because feigning an alliance is her best chance to figure out how to kill him. 
 
And if it feels like the more time she spends with him, the more her heart softens, it must be a trick of the unusually warm fall air. Because there’s no way she would make the grave mistake of falling for Elias Everhart twice 
 
. . . right?
