The Shadow That Finds Us is the breath-taking third instalment in the bestselling found-family fantasy series by BookTok sensation, Andy Darcy Theo.

Alexis, Blaise, Caeli and Demi return to the Haven, carrying scars both on the surface and beneath. Shadows whisper to Alexis, destabilising his grasp on reality as he works to reveal his parentsโ€™ secret, while his friends wrestle with fractured trust and forbidden feelings. As the autumn equinox approaches, distrust mounts, forcing them to confront the true nature of their destiny, before itโ€™s too late and they are lost to the shadows forever.

  • Masterfully intertwines themes of mental health and the bonds of found family
  • Featuring BookTok's favourite tropes: friends-to-lovers, love triangle, touch her and you die
  • For readers aged 12+ and perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Legendborn
