The Hidden Truth by Sarah J. Stone

The shifters find their captive enemy as an ally in disguise, but they bear terrible news. The trouble to come was bigger than they’d ever thought. The shifters weren’t the only ones in danger. As an old enemy returned having never really disappeared as they’d thought, a new burden fell on their shoulders. There were larger responsibilities to tackle, and riskier moves to make. And a snarky Viria wasn’t all that easy to come to trust and co-operate with, but as she would have it, it was time for something bigger than war to confront: Alliances.The paranormal beings are forced to come together and leave their feuds behind to face adversities.

As new discoveries and shocking connections come out into the open, the shifters and Elders question their roles and efficiency as protectors of the realm, and are forced to succumb to Viria’s leadership. As her efforts are revealed, it only brings more unease with the realization of how dire the situation had become. It was time to change their perspectives and tactics on how they led their lives and communities to continue surviving.Viria, on the other hand, has her own problems to deal with. Nina has become the prime key to unity of all the witches’ and wizards’ in all of the communities. A new being is coming into existence. Traitors are revealed. It’s the peak of change.

It’s the start of a new era for the realm.
