Hello, my lovelies. Today I’m celebrating a book birthday, Dark Allegiance by Shelley Russell Nolan. The third book in her fantastic dystopian urban fantasy series, The Last Ward.
I loved reading the first book in this series – Dark Justice and will post a review for Dark Allegiance once I’ve read it.
Keep reading to find out more about Shelley and her The Last Ward series. But first…
What’s Dark Allegiance about?

Blood will be spilled.
Jackson Kyle, former Captain of the Brimfield Ward, has one goal: to rid the world of freaks. When he is accused of treason by his commanders and sentenced to death by the humans he is sworn to protect, that goal seems impossible.
But with the threat of destruction looming over all humankind, he will do whatever it takes to get rid of the freak virus once and for all. Even if that means he has to ally with the enemy.
When a stronger, more lethal freak emerges, Jackson and Justice are forced to separate only to find themselves confronted by spectres of the past – the Legion. Their old enemy has one last role to play … and it is the deadliest yet.

Meet The Author

Shelley Russell Nolan is an avid reader who began writing her own stories at sixteen. Her first completed manuscript featured brain-eating aliens and a butt-kicking teenage heroine. Since then she has spent her time creating fantasy worlds where death is only the beginning and even freaks can fall in love.
The first two books in her debut adult urban fantasy series, Lost Reaper and Winged Reaper, were published by Atlas Productions in 2016, with Silver Reaper published in 2017 to complete the series. 2018 saw the release of her Arcane Awakenings Novella Series, and Odyssey Books have published the first book in a new post-apocalyptic series, Dark Justice, in 2019.
Born in New Zealand, moving to Australia with her family when she was seven, Shelley currently lives in Central Queensland, Australia, with her husband and two young children. They share their home with two wrecking ball kitties, a deformed budgerigar and one pipsqueak of a dog that is fairly normal as dogs go.
Shelley loves to hear from her readers so feel free to contact her.
