A brand new season of the bestselling Shadow Island series by international multi-million bestselling author Mary Stone begins now!
Carmen Crowe came to Shadow Island to rest. The island had other plans.
After a difficult year, Carmen, her husband, and their two daughters are spending time on a quiet barrier island off the Virginia coast. The plan is simple. Rest. Recharge. Figure out what comes next.
Then a broken wall reveals a journal someone went to great lengths to hide.
Inside its pages is a warning that spans decades. Every five years, young women disappear from Shadow Island. The dates repeat. The circumstances repeat. And one woman appears at the center of it all.
At first, the entries read like paranoia. Until a college student vanishes.
As Carmen joins forces with Shadow Island Sheriff Rebecca West, she uncovers evidence of a ritual tied to the island's oldest legend. A ritual that returns every five years. A ritual someone believes can restore what was stolen from her.
But the cycle has already begun.
And if Carmen and Rebecca can't stop it, another young woman will disappear before the tide turns.
Return to Shadow is the prequel to the next era of the bestselling Shadow Island series from Mary Stone. Join Carmen Crowe as she discovers that some evil learns how to wait...and some places refuse to let you go.
