The Game of Shadows series by Thea Harrison is a three-book paranormal romance that follows Mary and Michael, two souls who have been reborn countless times to fight an ancient evil known as the Deceiver. In Rising Darkness, the first book, Mary begins to remember fragments of her true identity as a healer of immense power, while Michael, a warrior, has been searching for her across centuries.
Unlike Harrison’s Elder Races books, this series has a tighter, more contained storyline. The conflict centers on the cosmic struggle between light and dark, with the romance between the two leads woven into their shared history across lifetimes. Falling Light continues the story as Mary and Michael confront the Deceiver directly, and Game of Shadows brings the trilogy to its conclusion. Readers who enjoy past-life romances and supernatural thrillers will find this series to their taste.
