About Silver and Shadow: The First Book of the Dark Goddess (The Books of the Dark Goddess 1):
As a paladin of the Dark Goddess, sworn to protect humanity against the Goddess’s evil sister the Bright One, Ginnevra has dedicated her life to fighting monsters, especially the werewolves who are the pinnacle of the evil goddess’s creation. But when a fatal confrontation seems to put her under the Goddess’s condemnation, Ginnevra must leave her paladin company to discover why.
In a village plagued by monsters on the edge of civilization, Ginnevra believes she understands what she faces. But when she meets a werewolf who challenges her understanding of who monsters really are, the encounter tests her faith to its limit. And when she learns the truth about the monsters attacking the village, she must choose between doing her duty and forging a new path—one that may condemn her forever.
