“My sword rising as he turned and swung his own down, the metal clinking together like a gunshot in the silence of the room as I felt strength push his blade harder onto mine.” Deep within the heart of Victorian London, Almira’s father is missing. With no one to trust and danger in every street, she seeks refuge with her close companion and fellow fighter, Tom. But when she is attacked mysteriously by cloaked figures, barely escaping with her life, she knows that her father was taken for a reason. Dragged into a hidden world thousands of years old and taken into the household of a band of people who’s lives are filled with pain and vengeance, she realizes that everything she knew about who she used to be is a lie, and the discoveries she is about to make, will change everything. Only the skills taught by her father and the trust of people she knows nothing about keep her protected for what and whom she faces. But one thing Almira doesn’t know is that the people after her know what it would cost to fail. They know that her ability makes her a dangerous enemy…or a perfect ally. As the search for her father continues, she knows now that the streets are not what she should fear, nor the dark. For what is after her is the reason we fear the shadows…
