The Shield Series

Young Adult Supernatural Romance

SAVE THE UNIVERSE OR SAVE EACH OTHER?

Amy’s sixteenth birthday party is ruined when her two best friends start fighting and storm out. Her day only gets worse when things begin exploding around her. A foul-tempered spirit has awoken in her mind, and it tells her she’s the reincarnated host of the Shield, born to defend against the Sword.

​The Shield wants to protect all life, and the Sword wants to end it, yearning to send the universe back into the quiet of nothingness. The two spirits have been locked in a cycle of battle, death, and rebirth for millennia. But Amy isn’t a violent person—she can’t even eat meat! She just wants to do well in school to get into her dream college, not fight someone potentially to the death.

Connor has spent his entire life diligently training to be the Sword’s perfect host and never questioned his fate—until meeting Amy. He’s only ever wanted to live up to his family’s expectations, is even willing to die in battle, but Amy slowly opens his eyes to a different path and now questions are all he has.

​Starting out as enemies, Amy and Connor slowly become friends and grow into more. Trapped by destiny, they must decide between fighting for the fate of the universe or fighting for themselves.

The Shield is a spice-free young adult supernatural romance with a slow burn, enemies-to-forbidden-lovers storyline.

SURVIVAL CAME AT A PRICE. IS LOVE ENOUGH TO PAY IT?

The Shattered Sword Releases on 11/21/2026

Last year, Connor and Amy saved the universe—but their happily ever after isn’t so happy.

Racked with guilt for what he did while possessed by the Sword spirit, Connor struggles to heal from the deep scars it left behind. Nightmares haunt him, and it doesn’t help that Amy’s brother can’t look him in the eye anymore. Arty’s wheelchair and dead expression remind him daily of what the Sword did to him. Of what Connor did to him.

Amy also relives the horrors almost every night. Her grief and anger amplify when she gets a rejection letter from Clearwater, the school she’s spent years longing to attend. Her grades and portfolio suffered with all her training and her dreams of the future become another victim of the Sword and Shield’s final battle.

Their world gets turned upside down all over again when Darkness sends a new spirit to finish what the Sword started. Connor and Amy have no choice but to fight against it. If they don’t, it will do everything in its power to achieve Darkness’s eternal goal—destroy all life. No matter how broken and battered their spirits have become, they must stand together, or it could cost them everything.

The Shattered Sword concludes Connor and Amy’s story and is a spice-free young adult supernatural romance that explores the themes of grief, healing, and never giving up on love.
