About Shadow Heir
An intriguing, gritty young adult fantasy about impossible loyalties and the family you choose.
In the shadowy divide between the gilded castle and the desperate streets, two lives collide, shattering the walls between their worlds.
Addi, a sharp-witted thief, will do anything to protect her found family. Markus, the disillusioned son of a powerful lord, longs to escape the suffocating politics of the court.
When a ruthless crime lord takes someone they love, Addi and Markus are forced into an unlikely alliance. To save them, they must attempt the impossible: steal from the heart of a fortress bristling with guards and secrets.
But the deeper they descend into conspiracy, the more Markus must choose between the cold duty of his bloodline and the fragile bonds of the family he never expected to find.
A thrilling tale of class, conspiracy, and dangerous gambits, where the greatest need is not of gold, but of belonging, and the most dangerous secrets are those among family.

Author Bio:
Eric Wanner spent his formative years exploring the ancient cities and festivals of Central Europe, developing a deep love for the gritty reality of the medieval period. Now a hobby writer and parent to a teenage boy in Stuttgart, he channels that passion into YA dark fantasy novels where the intrigue of noble courts is just as dangerous as the city’s thief-ridden underbelly. When not writing, he’s traveling with his family or arguing with his son over the best doner kebab in town.
