A trip home turned into a historical nightmare. When a portal unleashes a paranormal threat, can one woman put an end to the killings?

Glasgow, Scotland. Kirsty McIvar deliberately chose to be a lone wolf. But after leaving her dreaded hometown behind, she reluctantly returns ten years later to attend her beloved grandmother's funeral. And when she rushes to rescue a man being burned alive, she's dismayed that she's torn open the fabric of time... and set loose an ancient killer.

Fighting to avenge her gran's apparent murder amidst an out-of-control timeline, Kirsty joins her not-so-deceased great-grandfather and a recently resurrected Viking to stop the culprit's rampage. And despite her blossoming feelings for the young warrior of yesteryear, the fierce woman is determined to destroy the immortal magic wreaking havoc in the Scottish port.

Can Kirsty and her rag-tag crew kick evil back into history where it bloody well belongs?

Before Again is the action-packed first book in the Shadow City Chronicles urban fantasy series. If you like snarky protagonists, dark facts blended with fiction, and suspenseful crime-solving, then you'll love Claire S Duffy's feminist quest.

Industry Reviews

I really liked the author's humor, that the main character is a little older than you'd expect, the obvious love for the city of Glasgow, and Frej. How I could adore a character who didn't talk for half the book so much, I don't know. But I did.

-Sadie Forsythe

??????????This book was hella fun! I loved the atmosphere and the characters so much. The MC was such a blast to follow in this dark and exciting read. I loved the strength, the snark and general light of Kirsty. And Frej!!! I just adored him!

-Nicole

I loved the characters and the Glasgow setting. The setting really emphasised the darkness that was going on in the story. Whilst it was a dark tale the main character lightened it up and it was a pleasure to go on the journey with h??er.????

-Emily Pankhurst

Absolutely loved this book! Mystery and sci-fi set in the city I grew up in. Perfect! Take your time to get used to the language, or better still, visit Glasgow and read.the book whilst there! Can't wait for the second book to come out.

-Lorraine

The ending had me literally gasping and speaking out loud in class. I really can't wait for the next book to come out. I NEED it.

Bonus points for a feminist lead character and for bringing attention to slut-shaming and victim-blaming.
