War. Betrayal. Exile.

When you’re an immortal Valkyrie, who has walked the realms for two thousand years, there are some moments that haunt your every step.
 
Ready or not, Sigrun was dragged out of her self-imposed isolation. Now she is saddled with the responsibility of mentoring a young valkyrie, while trying to help her friends. With enemies closing in, Sigrun is done running from fights.
 
Born and raised to be a warrior, she prepares to take the battle to them. 
 
Yet from the shadows of Sigrun’s past an old adversary reemerges. A dark magic practitioner who knows the truth that forced Sigrun into exile. Sigrun would gladly face her alone, but fate has other plans. A mysterious fae warrior, with a jaded history all his own, is determined to aid her in the fight to come.  But whether he is truly a friend or just another enemy waiting to strike remains to be seen.
 
To protect the future, and the lives of those they hold dear, it’s time for Sigrun to defeat her past once and for all.

Grey’s elaborate first entry in the paranormal fantasy series Lost Legacies delivers a full-bodied tale of revenge and mystery in a town filled with fae, daemons, merfolk, vampires, and werewolves.

Grey cultivates rich, character-driven lore that teems with dark drama, lust, secrets, and betrayal, prudently exposing the cast’s eccentricity, each bound by tenuous relationships with each other and all carrying a grudge or a secret—or both. Grey’s gritty characters—and their bruised and broken souls—will resonate, and the dark depths that pervade this debut’s complicated mythology will keep readers enthralled and longing for more.” ~ Book Life (Review for A Shift in Shadows)

“The first in a new series, this urban fantasy romance has the protagonist, a feline shapeshifter, struggling with PTSD, trauma and betrayal as she continues her hunt for vengeance and safety (for herself and for those she cares about). While the plot and the character development won’t be anything new to fans of this genre, the world-building is what stands out the most in this book. And, while the conflict wraps up at the end of this book, the cliffhanger at the end lets readers know more is to come. Fans of Amelia Hutchins, Heather Killough-Walden, Laurell K. Hamilton, Ilona Andrews, and Seanan McGuire will enjoy this book.” – Reedsy Discovery (Review for A Shift in Shadows)

“Despite the character roster growing to a series high, Maddox Grey’s writing allows the reader to separate and compartmentalize the individual friends and foes to create an engaging story.” ~ Kevin (ARC Review for A Shift in Ashes)
