Publisher Description
War is coming . . .
When the FBI uses an anti-magic law to arrest and torture Riley’s boyfriend, they have no idea what hell they are about to unleash. If Riley can’t rescue Clay before he breaks, the result will be a disaster of epic proportions.
With time running out, Riley and her family must rely on two people more likely to stab them in the back than actually help. And, even if Riley manages the rescue, she’s still got to deal with two kidnappings and the return of her dad from the dead—the same dad who’d been willing to see her dead to protect his secrets.
What’s a girl to do? Kick ass, take names, and protect those she cares about at all costs.

Customer Reviews
Shadows Rise and heros fall
I received this as part of a promotion from Diana Pharaoh Francis, in return for an honest review.
Whisper of Shadows picks up shortly where the second book left off (I am still working on book two) and I was thrilled to realize that stuff had happened in book 2 that were crazy!!!!!!!
Whisper of Shadows is amazing, it starts a little more slowly then I like and then I'm used to from a DPF book. But then the middle grabs you and pulls you along for a ride. And man what a ride this is.
Some characters make an appearance and a twist happened that was likely apparent but was still shocking in its finality. DPF managed to make a book 3 that opened up the world. In previous books book’s 1/2 have opened up worlds, while book 3 has spun threads and pulled items together. Whisper of Shadows, opened up worlds, and created even more suspense. She grabbed some new characters and allowed them to shine, gave them stories, and fleshed out reasons for Riley to be Riley.
Had a lot of fun reading this book- and can’t wait to re-read it again, slower this time to savour the development of several characters into vital players on the stage.
Super enjoyable read from one of my favourite authors. :)
