More shocking still, she finds the boy she thought she had lost forever outside the gates of her new home.Mara knew the dizzying Imperial city would hold dangers. How could she have known that her heart, as well as her life, would be at stake?Empire of Shadows will take readers on a spellbinding journey into the world Miriam Forster first introduced in City of a Thousand Dolls—a world with a divided society, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and deeply laid conspiracies.
