How Shadow Guild Began
Linsey Hall, a former archaeologist turned bestselling author, crafted the Shadow Guild series as a vibrant extension of her Dragon’s Gift universe. Inspired by her love for magic and adventure, Hall envisioned a hidden London where supernatural beings thrive in a secret city. Launched in 2020 with Once Bitten, the series grew from her passion for strong heroines and intricate world-building, drawing readers into a realm where history and myth collide. Hall’s knack for weaving romance with mystery has made Shadow Guild a fan favorite.
The Heart of Shadow Guild
The series unfolds across three arcs: The Rebel, Hades & Persephone, and Wolf Queen. In Once Bitten, the Rebel arc introduces Carrow Burton, a psychic on the run for murder, who discovers Guild City and teams up with the enigmatic Devil of Darkvale, a powerful vampire. Their fiery chemistry fuels a race to clear her name. Wicked Deal deepens their bond as Carrow, now entangled with the Devil, tackles a dangerous mission to save Guild City while grappling with their cursed mate prophecy.
The Hades & Persephone arc kicks off with Infernal, a mythical retelling where librarian Seraphia faces Hades, a dark god determined to claim her. Their cat-and-mouse game blends passion and peril. Meanwhile, Pack of Lies in the Wolf Queen arc follows Eve, a shifter battling a dark curse alongside her alpha mate, Lachlan, as they unravel Guild City’s secrets. Themes of destiny, courage, and forbidden love pulse through the series, set against a vivid backdrop of magical guilds, witch parties, and hidden realms. Hall’s fast-paced style and rich world-building keep readers hooked.
