Over the cliff, across the gulf, at the peak of a mountain, they swarm. Arcana bleeds across the plateau, a tiny figure in its midst. It must be him.
He did this.
You let her die.
The world is ending. The city is on fire. Homes, demolished. The castle, in rubble. So many Shadows, reaching. Ripping. None of it seems real. Not the mess under the debris. Not the look on Vi's face as she stares. Not the blinding light that comes beaming from the clouds. Not the flames, not the quakes, nor the blood. But it
is
real, and when it rains, when the fires douse, and the world stops spinning, they'll feel it. The blame. And it will hurt. No one is built to bear hurt. This sequel immediately follows the events of
Burning Shackles of a Grey Eagle
, the first book in the
Craven Chances
series. Unlike the first, this sequel is an experience of multiple perspectives in addition to Vi's; characters such as Treya, Wren, and Kareem. We follow our characters as they navigate through a dying world full of Shadows, magic, and the darkest parts of humanity dredged to the light. How far are they willing to go, not only to survive, but to
live
?
How tall will your shadow grow before you look back?
