About the Dark Shores Series

The Dark Shores series by Danielle L. Jensen is a young adult fantasy series that will take you to a world of endless seas, forbidden truths and deadly alliances. The series is a really fascinating experience combining epic adventure and emotional depth. It features the character of Teriana who is a sailor and breaks the sacred laws to save her friend and Marcus who is a soldier and is hiding his past which if revealed could destroy everything. The two meet in a world where gods interfere and an empire that is relentless in their pursuits rules. Alongside them, Lydia and Killian rise from the ashes of their past and secrets to fight an evil that threatens more than just kingdoms. Each book has political intrigue, ancient magic and battle, personal struggle, sacrifice and love. The thing that differentiates this series from the rest is that, every decision the characters make affects the story in a – both harsh and beautiful – way. Irrespective of whether you are a fan of ocean expeditions, loves that are off-limits, or wars among gods, Dark Shores is the perfect book to read next. Fans of Sarah J. Maas will be hooked. And the best part? You can start with Dark Shores or Dark Skies and jump right into the action. Prepare for twists, secrets and unforgettable moments in one of the best YA fantasy series in recent years.
