The Nature of Shadow - Hardcover

by Emma R. Schofield (Author)

Will she be cast out of the one place she has left to go?

Anhame, the Hall under the six point star, is the only place Lia can learn how to use her terrifying powers. But to take the oath, and to pass through the trials, she must conceal the darkness that is her nature. How long can she hide her dark secret from the Masters of her craft? And if they find out, what will they do to ensure she is not a danger to everyone around her?

The Nature of Shadow is the first in an old-school fantasy series for people who love myth and magic, dragons and swordfighting, and walking the path of story with a frighteningly powerful protagonist who nevertheless faces entirely human struggles. Low on violence and sex, it is suitable for fantasy lovers from young adult to long-retired elder.
