DISCOVER THE ANGELS VS DEMONS DYSTOPIAN ROMANTASY SENSATION

WHO WILL SURVIVE THE NIGHT?

The Shadows that Listen is an unputdownable dystopian romantasy with a delicious slow burn romance, from debut author Louisa Carmody. Perfect for fans of Crescent City and Shadowhunters.

It’s been five years since the world was brought to its knees by an immortal war. Daemons crawled from the depths of hell and the sky bled gold as the angels arrived. Humanity thought it was saved, but the angels did not come to protect us.

Amara is a human warrior working for the Angel Intelligence Agency. She spends her days searching for those who don’t make it home after curfew. But when her boyfriend Jeremy goes missing, she decides to venture into the shadows to bring him back. Even if it means death.

Nathaniel is an archangel tasked with leading the destruction of humanity, for which he cares little. He doesn’t have time to protect little humans running around in the dark, especially those who stab him in the stomach.

But Nathaniel and Amara will soon realise they share a foe, one that lurks in the shadows and stalks them from the skies. She might long to kill him, but Amara knows that having an angel at her side is the only way to find the man she loves.

The shadows lengthen. They listen. Who will survive the night?

Louisa Carmody wrote her debut novel, The Shadows that Listen, at 19 years old and rewrote it at 26 while juggling full-time work. She originally wrote the story because it was something that she wanted to read, and it is now enjoyed by those who want a book that will make them laugh, cry, and scream. When Louisa isn’t curled up writing or reading, she’s usually spending time in the sun by the water.

"The Shadows that Listen plunges you into a world of angels and demons where both sides are equally monstrous. Carmody's prose is grippingly cinematic, studded with cat-and-mouse games and explosive combat scenes. Amara is my new favourite Action Girl! This fierce, compulsive read is softened by the judicious weaving through of a slow-burn enemies to lovers romance. A magical debut; I feel I have witnessed the beginning of a new legend."
Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy
