Shadowfever

A Letter from Author Karen Marie Moning

The Fever Series is all about seeing the truths beneath the illusions and figuring out how to deal with them or die. While investigating her sister s murder in Dublin, MacKayla Lane discovers that beneath the beautiful surfaces of nearly everyone and everything she encounters, there s something else entirely. From the Fae with their deadly glamour, to the siren-call of the Unseelie king s all-powerful book of dark magic, to Mac herself who starts out young, lovely and innocent only to end up well, you ll have to read Shadowfever to find that out nothing is as it seems.

When I first saw the concept art for the cover of Shadowfever, I was thrilled with how well it encapsulated the entire series in a dual design. Lift the acetate cover of Shadowfever and there s something else beneath it: a picture of a woman whose back is to the camera (for good reasons, she doesn t even like to look in the mirror lately) staring off in the distance at something you can t see (and probably wouldn t want to anyway) with a tattoo on her back of black wings, like the Unseelie king. But Mac s human. Isn t she?
