About the Book:
Legend says there was once a labyrinth where the city of Sangarie now stands. Each year on the Night of Shadows the populace stays inside while gateways to the labyrinth appear in the streets, and shadows wait to devour the brave, or the foolish. Gray was both, and it still haunts him.
He deals with his nightmares through sarcasm and overconfidence, and has risen in the ranks of the criminal guild to wrangle the most unruly district in the city: Old Town. He cheats at dice, drinks too much, and flirts as naturally as he breathes. When he finds the body of a fellow guild member, rumors spread that he’s the killer and he does what he does best—ignores authority and tries to handle it himself.
His investigations leave him on the run from both the guild and the guards, and he’s blackmailed into one last heist. One that will plunge him into the bowels of urban legend and force him to face his own traumatic past. The city’s future depends on the wit and bluster of the greatest thief ever to run across its rooftops, but can he survive the labyrinth a second time?

She’s the weird lady in Small Town USA who wears pajamas to the grocery store to buy cake. She’s always been drawn to the stories in her head, and spends most of her time with one foot in the real world and one foot in her own worlds. She finally built her dream house and lives there with her husband, where swords feature prominently in the interior decor and she has her own witchy medieval themed kitchen.
