Beware the shadows. They’ll pull you in and never let go. For Klara Whitlock, moving into her grandmother’s old house is supposed to be a fresh start. Watching for shadows is the last thing on her mind. Klara’s an adult now, and she’s no longer afraid of the dark. But maybe she should be. When she falls into a colorless, cold, and unforgiving world, Klara learns there's truth to her grandmother's tall tales. And she's about to encounter them herself, whether she likes it or not. Though, she's far from alone. Ghost, the mysterious—and oddly familiar—amnesiac violinist who seems to know her grandmother is her only ally, even though he’s hellbent on keeping her at arm’s length. Still, the clock is ticking. Trapped in a shadowy realm where nightmares are real, and they're after her, Klara must choose: trust Ghost to bring her home or succumb to the shadows. And if she chooses wrong, only a fate far worse than death awaits her. Are you afraid of the dark? The Shadows That Whisper is the first book in a gothic, dark portal romantasy/ paranormal romance series featuring parallel worlds, soulmates finding each other, shared dreams, forced proximity, themes of light and dark, and spice, amidst a dark backdrop of a foreboding world. Readers averse to cliffhangers beware—this one will not spare you.____________________________________“The Shadows That Whisper” is releasing May 26th, 2026!

H.E. Bauman - The IAC Podcast: Episode 5

Four artifacts. Two champions. One race to stop a god. Join the IRR Team as we yap about life lately, then chat with H.E. Bauman about her dark space romantasy, “The Sundered Stars” and the sequel, "The Stellar Veil"._______ All Mora “Mo” Cevi wanted to do was retire, but after stumbling into the conflict between the Eternal Ones, she’s now a Starborne, chosen of the gods. They’ve tasked her with no easy feat: track down their missing relics and prevent the elusive chaos goddess from being unleashed. Mo’s ready for the challenge, even as chronic pain and past scars threaten to hold her back. Commander Ezra Lyre once believed in the systems that kept the Federation safe, but after an attempted coup and becoming a Starborne, he’s torn between duty and the growing realization that his true loyalty may lie with the bounty hunters he hired months ago—especially Mo. Their alliance began out of necessity, but Mo and Ezra make a powerful team … and perhaps something more. Challenges stall their mission at every turn, and as they struggle to navigate their new reality, Mo and Ezra know one thing to be true: if they fail to recover their targets in time, the chaos goddess will be freed, and the galaxy will fall into ruin. “The Stellar Veil” is releasing May 18th, 2026!ARC form open through May 8th: https://forms.gle/h6F3a6h7vtBTxhnA8 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblNEVjBMdldxSm9hQ2hXUHI4b0Y3MVMxSGZjUXxBQ3Jtc0tseDJWa3MtMHJ3Y0hTV3pUd2RPTVZHUnM1TTBRT1lyUXY1VGVETlFhb2xxR0tCQUJrcmtvRFBxWDA1RXdBdEI2Ti1Ma0pwYm9KWE9IVDZlVlJ3RU4xOGNUSFVKT1huWEVDY3ZNMHFndWRISm1ZRXhTMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fa.co%2Fd%2F01v3bp6e&v=GShnbQvmhXs] Read book 1 now on Amazon Kindle Unlimited
