Drawn in Shadow: A Goddesses of The Morrigan Novel
Ashton Abbott, author
All hail the Queen of Anti-Heroes.
She has lived a thousand lives and died a thousand deaths. She has loved and lost, killed and dominated.
But she’s never been captured… until now.
Can she hold strong against this torture? Or will Macha the Conqueror finally be toppled? The Morrigan, great trinity goddess, has been dismantled by the Raedan Order. Macha, goddess of battle and sovereignty, has been captured and given over to those she has harmed in the past.
There will be no mercy, even if she did lower herself to beg.
She would rather rot.
An ancient ash tree serves as her prison… and tormentor.
It forces her through her memories to relive her most gruesome deaths and greatest heartbreak. The souls of past loved ones haunt her… along with another. One that she had thought herself rid of, but that continues to torment her just as sure as this tree sucks the very marrow from her bones.
Escape is inevitable, she knows that. But this forced reminiscing is tearing away the stability of her ancient mind. Can she hold strong against the darkness creeping in threatening to claim her? Or has she been the darkness all along?

Drawn in Shadow is a deliciously cruel and seductively dark origin story. She may be an anti-hero, but my heart still broke for her. This story spans hundreds of years and several lifetimes in Macha's history. We get an intimate look at several important interactions throughout Macha's existence. I really enjoyed her duality. Her hold over the cycles of life was subtle but present. She is a bringer of death, a champion of the people, and also a creator of life. Judge, Jury and Executioner if you will over people's life threads. This book does a great job of getting you to root for the "bad guy"! I'm Team Macha all the way!
