Bloodstarved is the first book in the Shadows of Louisville series, an urban fantasy romance set in a darker, more dangerous version of Louisville, Kentucky. Lily Ironblade has spent years surviving the kind of loss that should have broken her. Her sister Mya vanished the night fire tore through 4th Street Live, leaving behind unanswered questions, old betrayals, and a city full of monsters wearing familiar faces. When a brutal attack pulls Lily back into the world she has tried to control, she is forced to face the truth: something ancient is moving beneath Louisville, and the symbol left behind - a moon falling through a fallen star - may be connected to Mya, the dragon riders, the wolves, and the powerful families who would rather keep their secrets buried. Jax Ashclaw was supposed to protect Mya. He failed. Now he is back in Lily's path with ember eyes, dangerous promises, and a dragon who seems to know exactly who Lily is to him. But trusting Jax means reopening wounds Lily never let heal, and the closer they get to the truth, the more Lily's magic begins to unravel. Enemies are rising. Bloodstarved creatures are hunting. The Veil is watching. And Lily may be the key to a war she never asked to inherit.
