Everything remembered must be forgotten. The gods are glorious, and then they are not -- history is an ongoing clock. It trudges on.

"Some call us heroes. Others call us thieves. I call us liberators." Two pirate siblings. A powerful bartender. A young but prodigy assassin. These are the four who have always been the wonder of their world. Why did José always seem so calm? Where had Priya been hidden this whole time? What had happened to Rynah and Bryken's father? They had lurked in the shadows, prowling like a tiger would on its prey. The insatiable thirst for blood, food money, and most of all, vengeance, had always been looming over them. They had sailed across endless seas, trekked across vast deserts and navigated through the thickest forests, all in their own personal missions for wealth. And yet they all lived like strangers to one another, until a golden opportunity for an impossible heist of justice urges them to join forces and do the impossible: steal the Crown of Fire and 200 billion zeni from the infamous Wolf Estate, guarded by more soldiers than ever deemed possible. Will they come out alive, or will sacrifices have to be made?

After partly avenging her mother's death, Evette Star, the illegitimate daughter of an elven king, sets off on a warpath to find the adversary of her people. The human King in the West, Dracul Dregoth, has locked himself away in a stone tower for reasons unbeknownst to those who fear him. His reign has blanketed the land in darkness, and while Evette knows little about the man, she intends to make him pay for the deeds done by those who have obeyed his relayed orders. She will bring him to justice, even if it means uncovering hidden secrets that will force her to question if all of her efforts were really worth the trouble. She will have to learn the hard way that self-love and self-acceptance are more important than the love of others. Werewolves, dragons, and undead spirits may keep her from reaching her destination on time, but her need for fiery vengeance will be sated. Of Shadow and Death is the first book in the Shadow Of Wisdom series. No one is truly trustworthy. No one is safe. Few will survive the truth, and even fewer will live happily ever after. ___________________________________ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Of Shadow and Death is art. This book is a page turner.
