December 31, 2013 was the best New Year’s Eve I’ve had
in a long time. The Sharpest Blade, the third book in my Shadow Reader series,
hit the shelves. The Shadow Reader books follow McKenzie Lewis, a human who can
not only see the fae, but she can track them when they fissure (or teleport)
from place to place. That little talent of hers has put her in the middle of a
fae civil war, a war that finally comes to a conclusion in The Sharpest Blade.
Readers have waited a long time for this book. I’m so
grateful for their patience, and for all their support these last few years.
The reception McKenzie has received has been awesome, and I’ve met so many
wonderful readers since The Shadow Reader was published. Thank you all for
sharing McKenzie’s adventures with me, and I hope 2014 brings you many hundreds
of fabulous and kickass reads.
About
Sandy Williams
Sandy Williams has lived and breathed books all her
life. When she was a teen, she was always the first to finish her class
assignments so that she could read as much as possible before the bell rang.
Her grades didn’t suffer (much), and she was able to enroll in Texas A&M
University. She didn’t sneak in novels there, but every other line of her
college lecture notes are filled with snippets of stories. After she graduated,
she decided to turn those snippets into books.
Sandy is the author of The Shadow Reader novels, an
urban fantasy romance series about a human who can both see and track the fae.
When Sandy isn’t writing, she’s taking care of her twin boys, who also debuted
in 2011. They keep her busy, but she’s occasionally able to sneak in time to
read books by her favorite authors, and she still enjoys playing EuroGames like
Dominion, 7 Wonders, and Agricola.

The Shadow
Reader Trilogy
The Shadow
Reader Blurb
There can only
be one allegiance.
It’s her time to
choose.
Some humans can see the fae. McKenzie Lewis can track
them, reading the shadows they leave behind. But some shadows lead to danger.
Others lead to lies.
A Houston college student trying to finish her degree,
McKenzie has been working for the fae king for years, tracking vicious rebels
who would claim the Realm. Her job isn’t her only secret. For just as long,
she’s been in love with Kyol, the king’s sword-master—and relationships between
humans and fae are forbidden.
But any hope for a normal life is shattered when she’s
captured by Aren, the fierce and uncompromising rebel leader. He teaches her
the forbidden fae language and tells her dark truths about the Court, all to
persuade her to turn against the king. Time is running out, and as the fight
starts to claim human lives, McKenzie has no choice but to decide once and for
all whom to trust and where she ultimately stands in the face of a cataclysmic
civil war.

The Shattered
Dark Blurb:
A love declared.
A war waged.
A future
endangered.
McKenzie Lewis has a gift. It allows her access to a
world few have seen, and even fewer can comprehend. It’s her secret. And it
exists in the shadows…
McKenzie was a normal college student, save for one
little twist: she’s a shadow reader, someone who can both see the fae and track
their movements between our world and the Realm. It’s a gift for which she has
been called insane, one for which she has risked family and friends—and one
that has now plunged her into a brutal civil war among the fae.
With the reign of the king and his vicious general at
an end, McKenzie hoped to live a more normal life while exploring her new
relationship with Aren, the rebel fae who has captured her heart. But when her
best friend, Paige, disappears McKenzie knows her wish is, for now, just a
dream. McKenzie is the only one who can rescue her friend, but if she’s not
careful, her decisions could cost the lives of everyone she’s tried so hard to
save.

The Sharpest
Blade Blurb:
Torn between two
worlds.
Torn between two
lives.
McKenzie Lewis’s ability to read the shadows has put
her—and …those she loves—in harm’s way again and again. The violence must end,
but will the cost of peace be more devastating than anyone ever imagined?
After ten years of turmoil, the life McKenzie has
always longed for may finally be within her grasp. No one is swinging a sword
at her head or asking her to track the fae, and she finally has a
regular—albeit boring—job. But when a ruthless enemy strikes against her
friends, McKenzie abandons her attempt at normalcy and rushes back to the
Realm.
With the fae she loves and the fae she’s tied to
pulling her in different directions, McKenzie must uncover the truth behind the
war and accept the painful sacrifices that must be made to end it. Armed with
dangerous secrets and with powerful allies at her side, her actions will either
rip the Realm apart—or save it.
