Seer of Shadows: Shadows of the First Trine 1…They were hardly a threat before. Sure, the abominations could look like allies, but they weren’t good at imitating personalities or the little quirks that make each person unique, and they had a distinctive odor, which always gave them away . . . but the only constant is change, and over time, they learned how to model the behavior of their chosen identity accurately. They learned the art of mimicry and voice manipulation. It’s even rumored they managed to extinguish the telling smell!Unrest has once again blanketed the kingdoms in its darkness. Magic is on the rise, and those acting from the shadows have manipulated dragon eggs to create evil, stunted monsters capable of taking the place of anyone they choose. Now, they allegedly walk among unsuspecting folk, virtually undetectable, but Lady Shey, with all her power as a sorceress, can’t devote her time to worry about monsters. She must set aside her worries and focus on her quest to save the kingdoms’ hope for crawling back into the light—a group of descendants, according to the seers, living a simple life tucked away peacefully in the mountains.
