Shadow War: Book 3 of the Shadows Rising Trilogy (WIP Rough Draft)

Bren's new life with the Innkeeper's team of rebels is dangerous and demanding, but with Captain Arramy's help they are doing real damage to the Coventry. Then disaster strikes, and Bren and Arramy wind up running for their lives across the Coalition provinces, trying to find a way back to the resistance. Instead, Bren is taken by the Caerhundars.

Once again crossing the sea by boat, this time Bren is in shackles, chained to fifty other people in a cargo bin, bound for the Coventry's sprawling fortification hidden deep in the colonial mountains. At first Bren is only trying to survive the brutal working conditions of the Agricultural Sector. Then her language skills present an opportunity to work as a translator in the Paradazh Headquarters. It means close and constant contact with the very people who are still hunting for her - but how better to spy on them?

Surrounded by enemies, Bren races against the Coventry's plans to overthrow the Coalition, relaying information to her enigmatic contact in the Illyrian underground. With all-out war looming, Bren must come face to face with the truth: winning may cost her the man she has come to love.

NOTE: this is the sequel to Shadow Dance, and the last book in the Shadow series. Reading Shadow Road first, followed by Shadow Dance, is strongly suggested, although it might not be absolutely necessary to understand this story.
