Shadeborn

A new power is rising in Shreveport, escalating tensions between Shade and Illumin. Every Shade in the city feels this shift and works to carve out their own section in the new order. The Raven family unites against their growing enemies to prepare for the upcoming war. Still recovering from the wounds of betrayal, the Ravens wrestle with painful memories of their losses, set aside old feuds, and reforge their alliance with the Illumin. In the end, all may succumb to this powerful force that threatens the city. In the second installment of the Shadeskin Anthology, two authors interlace stories of ancient beings and their impact on the human race set against the backdrop of a Louisiana city.

In the aftermath of a titanic battle, Ancel and the remnants of his people are fleeing to Benez, a city reviled by the world. Hunted by assassins and shadelings, he must fight to see them survive even as corruption creeps across the land, and his father battles for sanity. Ryne still holds onto his secrets, but suspicious of those around him, he makes a surprising discovery of his own, one he cannot reveal. Irmina’s struggle with the loss of her parents, her feelings for Ancel, and her hate for Ryne, continues. As she comes into her power as a Beasttamer, she must hold onto a secret that could kill them all, while hoping the enemy will not discover what she knows. Meanwhile, the Nine continue to pull strings, and the armies of the Tribunal and Amuni’s Children march, their ultimate goal to see an end to Ancel and the Eztezians, and to breach the prisons of the gods. But as often is in Denestia, many things are not what they seem.

DESOLATE UPON THE ROAD, LOREN MUST FEND FOR HERSELF The saga of the Nightblade continues across the nine kingdoms. Loren is listless in the wind. Though the Shades have been revealed, the cost of that knowledge seems too heavy to bear. And once again Xain is clutched by the tremors of magestone sickness, giving her the excuse she needs to simply...not go on. But now that the Shades have been found, they will not let Loren rest. If the Mystics learn what she knows, all the Shades' dark schemes could be thrown into disarray. Northwood will be the first town to burn under their icy fury, but as they hunt for Loren on the road to Feldemar, it will not be the last.
