Publisher Description
The third installation of the thrilling Shadowchaser series featuring a multiracial heroine who serves the Universal Balance as a Shadowchaser seeking out the Fallen as they sow discord and chaos.
Truth is the most dangerous weapon of all...
Kira Solomon’s life has never been simple. Battling against the Fallen, serving the Egyptian goddess Ma’at, becoming romantically involved with a 4,000-year-old Nubian warrior—these are now everyday realities. But something is changing. Kira’s magic is becoming dangerously unpredictable, tainted by the Shadow she has been trained to destroy.
Matters grow worse when an Atlanta museum exhibit based on the Egyptian Book of the Dead turns out to have truly sinister properties. As the body count rises, even long-trusted allies start to turn against Kira. She can hardly blame them—not when the God of Chaos is stalking her dreams and the shocking truth about her origins is finally coming to light. As one of the good guys, Kira was a force to be reckoned with. But if the only way to stop a terrifying adversary is to fight Shadow with Shadow, then she’s ready to find out just how very bad she can be...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Glass's third paranormal set in modern-day Atlanta (after Shadow Chase and Shadow Blade), powerful Shadowchaser Kira Solomon learns the truth of her parentage. Kira already knew she wasn't human, thanks to her gift of instantly learning the history of the people she touches. Now her powers are changing and she feels the draw of the Shadow, though she has vowed to stay true to the Light. When several of Kira's friends and acquaintances succumb to a strange illness, Kira must find a cure and prove that she has not gone over to the dark side. Glass throws out names and events from previous titles in the series without adequate references, running the risk of confusing even returning readers, and the plot never quite stands alone, making this one strictly for the fans.
