Their names pass through my mind. Ersa…. Chloris… Kathika… Isleen… I say a promise to each of them, their faces seemingly fading from my memory. "I will avenge you… I will live," I whisper into the air. They died for pure wickedness and nothing more. Our town, in the shadow of the castle, has suffered greatly from the loss of these women. No more. Not another mother or father, sibling, or friend, will lose a woman to The Huntsman and the queen. I cannot allow it. If I can turn the tables, I can avenge them. All I need is a weapon. Barks reverberate behind me, skipping across the trees. The hounds seem hungry. They long for a bite of flesh, their liberation granted at the gates where they can finally hunt. I hear a chanting above the noises of the hounds and a shiver runs down my spine. The Huntsman.

Sometimes the monsters are within us… The scent of burning flesh is more memorable than the ear-piercing screams that echo off the walls of The City-but both are etched in the minds of the innocent citizens who are stuck in the never-ending nightmare.Their only chance for peace is a young woman called Shadow-a rebel assassin known for her personal vendetta against the merciless tyrant who wants to be King. Shadow must rush to stop him before he obtains an ancient magic and reigns over The City unchallenged.When tensions deepen during her mission to kill or be killed, Shadow must face the past she's been hiding from and the deadly enemies who hunt her, including a vengeful princess turned soldier, a Commander with a painful past, and a traitor that leaves her barely clinging to her life. And worst of all, she may need their help to succeed.As war brews inside the Great City's walls, only one thing is certain: they will come to know the monsters within.

Shadow is unaccustomed to life at court. Everything around her feels foreign-the Palace, the people, the fragile sense of security and peace. Eirho. Even her true name, the one that echoes through the corridors feels like it belongs to a stranger. For Shadow, normalcy lies in rage and ruin, chaos and panic. She knows blood, fire, and pain. But the anarchy she once knew is ready to return with a vengeance.A new enemy strikes The City and everyone within its walls is clawed back into the depths of danger. This threat is unlike anything The City, or Shadow, has ever faced. A darkness that could drag them all to the pits of the earth veils the land, and an unknown enemy is at the front gates. Shadow needs to find a way to stop inevitable slaughter and her only chance is a clue. One name: The Eye. Everything and everyone is at stake; her magic may not be enough to save anyone… And this time, there may not be survivors.
