Shadows. To us, they are nothing but silhouettes, but in a faraway kingdom, they reveal more about people than people would like to think. They are a double-edged sword, and somebody sinister has just grasped the hilt … Sixteen-year-old Lyrikee Lorelai has everything she’s ever wanted: she’s the heir princess to a prosperous kingdom, serves as her father’s most trusted advisor, and is engaged to the love of her life. But when a cold-hearted king decides to erase vulnerability from the world, she alone can save the man she loves—and the rest of the world as she knows it. Lyrikee embarks on a journey filled with magicians, lost shadows, and an arrogant guardian harboring a deadly secret. In a time where her greatest power is her greatest vulnerability, any mistake could be her last.
