Shadow Crusade
by Jessaca Willis
ACOTAR with demons instead of fae, set in the world of Dark Souls III...
That's what I was thinking of when I wrote this series. Now, like with all stories, as I wrote, it started to develop into something of its own accord, but I was constantly coming back to the things that inspired me to write this early on.
I'd like to think that Shadow Crusade isn't your typical demon hunter story. Demons are commonly associated with the urban fantasy genre, but this is an epic fantasy tale. The demons in this book are not reddish imps and devils; they are Lovecraftian beasts mean to instill horror in the hearts of mankind.
In Shadow Crusade, you will meet Halira Devonshire, one of the most relatable characters I think I've ever written. She struggles with the monotony of life and not having a strong sense of direction. She wouldn't describe herself as happy, but she's neither discontented. Life is what it is and she's going through the motions to make it through each day. But when tragedy befalls her family, she suddenly finds herself motivated and inspired in a way she never has before.
Shadow Crusade is a grim but magical story of revenge, of friendships and found family, of triumph over hardship; and most importantly, of discovering oneself amid the ruins of one's life.
To my readers, I truly hope you enjoy accompanying Halira on the path of vengeance, and the secrets she learns about herself and her world along the way.
