Although Lily, vampire Lucius's "shadow," may have thought
her most recent target to assassinate would be an easy
mark, she knew she'd underestimated when his sunmage
abilities stripped her of her wraith powers. Unwilling to
trust him, but daring to hope for rescue from Lucius's
nefarious grasp upon her, Lily attempts to weigh Simon
DuCaine's proposition against the power of her dark past, a
past to which even she doesn't hold all the answers.
Despite their growing attraction, Simon and Lily both have
secrets they would rather keep deep in the dark.
The first
novel of the half-light city, SHADOW KIN immediately throws
readers into a world of intrigue, a world in which humans,
Templar warriors, healers, the Fae, Blood, and the Beasts
barely hold to uneasy treaties. The book is excellent with
rich detail and a clear sense of place and society.
On one side, the Night World, rules by the Blood Lords and
the Beast Kind. On the other, the elusive Fae and the
humans, protected by their steadfast mages... Born a wraith,
Lily is a shadow who slips between worlds. Brought up by a
Blood Lord and raised to be his assassin, she is little more
than a slave. But when Lily meets her match in target Simon
DuCaine, the unlikely bond that develops between them
threatens to disrupt an already stretched peace in a city on
the verge of being torn apart...
