In this beautiful and dangerous world, the Siphthan, Arvai, Harpies, and humans live in peace until the king of the Siphthan destroys the Arvai city of Skalin. Aramay and Hayden barely escape the slaughter. Aramay just wants to get her friend to safety - and ignore her own unsettling dreams and growing, inexplicable powers. As they journey, the two become involved in a Siphthan rebellion and gain unexpected allies. When Aramay meets the Durani, the elements in physical form, myth blurs into reality. The Durani have great power but nothing, they say, compared to Aramay herself. She is the immortal Darnae, powerful beyond anything she can comprehend - powerful enough to harm those she loves the most. Filled with magic and danger, dark fears and fragile hope, Shadow's Light is a rich fantasy that delves into the often-nonlinear process of self-acceptance.
