Author: Shannon K. Butcher

Shannon K. Butcher combines paranormal romance with an extended conflict among supernatural peoples in the Sentinel Wars series. Burning Alive opens the sequence through Helen and Theronai warrior Drake, whose meeting reveals a power that may alter the Sentinels’ struggle against the Synestryn. Finding the Lost, the second volume, follows Paul and Andra on a dangerous search connected to her family’s past. Blood Hunt appears fifth, centering Hope, Logan, and rival forces seeking control of her unusual power. Berkley published the three novels in 2009 and 2011. Before fiction, Butcher worked as an industrial engineer. She learned elements of writing craft while helping her husband, novelist Jim Butcher, think through stories, then developed her own romantic suspense and fantasy series. The Sentinel Wars connects three guardian races with distinct abilities and cultures. Across these books, Butcher expands that shared mythology through different couples, allowing each relationship to reveal another part of the war, its loyalties, and survival's costs.
