A year has passed since Heather Santos got wrapped up in a revenge plot that nearly exposed the existence of supernatural beings to the world at large. Now she must live with the fallout; a life in hiding, pretending she's someone that she isn't. And while that's enough for her gallery of nearly-human friends and acquaintances, Heather wants more. Heather's life is settling into an uncomfortable rhythm when a mysterious man comes to her on her nineteenth birthday, claiming to be her father. He reveals her "destiny", and forces Heather to question everything she thought she knew. On top of her existential crises, her boyfriend changes in unexpected ways, her relationships are pushed to the breaking point, and her own mistakes set in motion a chain of events that could very well leave New York City in ruins. Friends will be made, enemies will be discovered, secrets will be revealed, and Heather will learn with heartbreaking clarity that no good deed goes unpunished. Shattered, the much anticipated second installment in Rene Lanausse's Spellbound series, brings with it the same heart and wit as the first, with more thrills, more suspense, and questions about the nature of life, love, and the human spirit.
