The Shadow Accords Books in Order

When the feared A'ras kill her parents, Carth discovers they prepared her for magic she never knew she had. Seeking answers and revenge, she must decide whether to protect new friends from a threat greater than her enemies.

Carth leaves the north to learn what being shadow born means, but storms trap her in a dangerous port. Captured while helping a girl escape slavers, she must navigate her captor's games and the continuing threat of the Hjan.

Training with the A'ras leaves Carth isolated and struggling to balance their magic with her shadow powers. A mysterious teacher offers guidance as the Reshian attack, but mastering her conflicting abilities exposes secrets tied to her past.

Carth reaches Asador while investigating the Hjan, but a companion’s mysterious illness draws her into the city’s criminal underworld. Discovering ways to neutralize her magic forces her to save herself before helping others.

Carth builds a network to protect the women of Asador, drawing powerful opposition. When an assassin strikes someone close to her, pursuit outside the city reveals that her plans may not be enough to keep them safe.

Carth patrols the north, fearing that fragile peace accords will collapse. Attacks on coastal villages lead her toward an old master and unresolved questions from her past that could determine whether the agreement survives.
