Souls and Shadows by Kara Ellison
They claim I have magic.
Yeah… right.
But when I touch someone, they feel better—I’m left drained.
At six-foot-four, I already stand out. Then I’m tested and accepted into Saguaro Academy for Sciences and Arts—only to find out it’s actually a school for magic.
Not the ‘pick a card’ stuff. Real magic. The dangerous kind.
I just want to fit in with the other students, but I don’t even know if magic is real—let alone if I have it. I ace my classes, but Magic 101? Total disaster.
Worse, something dark stirs beneath the academy’s polished halls, and I’m the only one who feels it. It’ll devour everyone here and in the nearby city when it grows strong enough.
To stop it, I must embrace a power I don’t understand or believe in. Because if I fail?
I won’t just lose myself—I’ll lose everything.
Souls & Shadows is the gripping first book in the Tattered Souls series. Join April as she struggles to find a way to accept herself and find the courage to face mysterious and evil forces. Perfect for fans of The Coven: Elemental Magic and Shadowspell Academy!

Kara is an award winning author and watercolorist, who loves animals but she’ll run screaming from a spider. On the other hand, she finds snakes interesting but doesn’t want one for a pet.
She finds magical systems fascinating, wishes they were real but since they’re not, loves to invent her own and have her characters use it instead. (If it were real, her house would be a lot neater.)
She writes clean YA/New adult sci fi as K. E. Brungardt and epic fantasy as Karen Kanouse. (She feels like a split personality sometimes.)
