A Blood Shadow Novel
An intrinsic need to heal, soften, nurture, care...Feelings run deep in Dianna Hardy's new paranormal romance and dark fantasy story, set on the island of Santorini, where history is about to surface for Roman and Laura.

Amid the white-washed houses of Greece lies a secret that will pull Laura and Roman fathoms deep into an atrocity obscured by mythology and buried by aristocracy. Posing as married and battling their own villainous pasts, a she-wolf and a human afflicted with the siren gene are about to embark on a deadly mission in the hopes of finding a cure.
A family reunion they can't escape
“...now there’s today. And yesterday; the day before that, and the day you anchored us to the bottom of the ocean… I can feel you inside me through the siren now; I can feel your emotions and I know everything you’ve said to me is true about how you found me and what you thought at the time; how upset you felt after saving my life and unknowingly binding us… I know you haven’t lied to me. I know in some ways you were as trapped as me within your own family."

This book is not a standalone. Dianna's layered dark fantasy-romance stories weave in and out of each other. At least seven books precede this one. And they will all have you trembling with emotion.
Dianna's fantasy books are dark and gritty. They are not for the faint of heart.
