Shadows Return

About “Shadows Return”

With their most dangerous mission completed, heroes Seregil and Alec return to Rhiminee but find it difficult to settle as most of their allies are dead or exiled. Seeking a distraction, they take an assignment that leads them back to Seregil's homeland. On the way, they are ambushed and separated, both ending up sold into slavery. Seregil survives by hoping Alec is alive, but his master is not interested in Alec's life—rather, Seregil's blood. His unique lineage holds the key to a rare treasure, requiring a painful process that tests him physically and spiritually. This ordeal draws Seregil and Alec into the world of alchemists and madmen, where an enigmatic creature may hold the key to their fate. The novel explores whether this being is a savior or a monster.
