Book Description:
With winter solstice fast
approaching, Sora and her companions are running out of time. She must stop The
Shade from awakening the Dark God, yet a powerful force has overtaken her
Cat’s-Eye necklace, rendering the stone almost useless. To use the stone, Sora
must learn to trust her instincts and embrace her own inner strength. She joins
forces with unexpected allies, Lord Gracen Seabourne among them, to protect the
City of Crowns. As the city dissolves into chaos, she finds herself barreling
toward an epic battle that will decide the fate of mankind.

devotees swelled the Shade’s ranks. Shadow portals transported them from
cities, from fields and mountains—from anywhere—to this forsaken desert.
Nameless warriors pooled beneath a red plateau that towered in the twilight,
