The battle is over. The war is won. The prophecy complete. But life can't just pick up where it left off for Ethan. Struggling to cope with the death of his soulmate, at odds with his friends in the Guard, he finds himself adrift, jumping at shadows and sensing someone who can't possibly be there. Blaming herself for Lathenia's death, Jesilla swears to avenge her mother and fulfil her final plans. But she hadn't planned on falling in love. And that leaves her with an impossible choice - should she follow her heart or the parental strings of a Goddess, short on praise but high on expectation, that continues to pull on her from the grave? As the Guard and the Order battle through the past and into an impossible future, darkness lurks around every step. The fight for the world's survival will rest with just one. Is it a friend or foe that hides in The Shadow?
