Synopsis

Beware the shadows, because not everything hiding in them is harmless . . .

The Shadow Council have found new allies: shadowy creatures called wraiths. Summoned from another dimension, the wraiths are immune to most forms of attack—and they eat life force. A deadly threat to everyone in Kortall, the wraiths change the balance of power completely.

The Council is on the march again. If Smith and his allies cannot find a way to defeat the wraiths, everything will be lost!

There's one chance. Legend says there was a Sword of Light carried by a hero centuries ago. If it's real, the sword would be a deadly weapon against the wraiths, but nobody has seen it in hundreds of years.

The quest to find the sword will demand everything from the seekers.

But if they fail, everything in their world will fall to shadow!

Welcome to “Night Soldiers,” the brilliant series by one of our most accomplished writers of espionage novels.

Goodreads review by Steve on September 29, 2011

An Alan Furst protagonist is invariably intellectual, politically astute, a man of action, a consummate lover, honorable, brave, and on the right side of any conflict (which follows naturally from despising Nazis). Nicholas Morath is the perfect archetype. Of course, the background and circumstances......more
