Comet Rising

Emmeline and Lucas are convinced they are safe from Lady Aisling and her soldiers…for now. But one night, Emmeline’s imprisoned shadow, Dar, warns them that they will soon be apprehended. They try to ignore her, but the next night Lucas’s parents are captured and Lucas, Emmeline, and Dar barely escape.

With nothing left to lose, Emmeline and Lucas recruit other children with magical abilities to march against Lady Aisling and free those she has taken captive. But then Dar escapes, and they find themselves watching their backs as they plan their attack.

About the Author

MarcyKate Connolly is a New York Times bestselling children's book author who lives in New England with her family and a grumble of pugs. Like the main character in her Shadow Weaver duology, she once had an imaginary friend who did very naughty things, like eating directly from the sugar bowl and playing hide-and-seek with her parents-without telling them-whenever they went department store shopping.

Later in life, she graduated from Hampshire College (a magical place where they don't give you grades) where she wrote an opera sequel to Hamlet as the equivalent of senior thesis. It was also there that she first fell in love with plotting and has been dreaming up new ways to make life difficult for her characters ever since.
