After Selena discovers what is really in the shadows, she must now discover what lies within the mist. Selena has barely survived her first encounter with her Shadow enemies, only to be forced back into the path of danger. While she heals, she explores the mysterious and inviting Shadow Realm that is home to her ancestors. However, as a new year looms on the horizon, so does a new enemy. Even across dimensions Selena's pursuers are hunting her for her special blend of inherited abilities. The only thing is, they still don't know what she looks like. Living between the Mortal and Shadow Realms, Selena faces the challenges of constant attack, injuries that strangely refuse to heal, problems at school from an overly aggressive guy, and love, as another match arises for her in the Shadow Realm. Drawn back to the same spot where she had nearly been killed the year before, Selena finds herself in the most intense battle of her life. She must fight to not only save herself, but also those she loves most. No longer a Shadow with fledgling abilities, Selena-along with her match, Matthew-uses her newfound training to fend off the enemy at every turn. But will it be enough?
