Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima, this is a thrilling story of the unfathomable costs of war, the allure of dark magic, and two principled and conflicted characters drawn together despite everything they stand to lose.Alyssa ana’Raisa, the reluctant princess heir to the Gray Wolf throne of the Fells, feels more comfortable striking with a sword than maneuvering at court. After a brush with death, Lyss goes on the offensive, meaning to end the war that has raged her whole life. If her gamble doesn’t pay off, she could lose her queendom before she even ascends to the throne.Across enemy lines in Arden, young rising star Captain Halston Matelon is being sent on ever more dangerous assignments. Between the terrifying rumors of witches and wolfish warriors to the north and his cruel king at home, Hal is caught in an impossible game of life and death. Lyss and Hal’s intricately linked fates become inseparable when they fall under the shadow of a new enemy—a force that threatens to extinguish the last rays of hope in the Shattered Realms.

3.5 -4.0 Stars Something I wish I would have known before going into this book is that there is really no Ash in it….*gasp* He is there in a few flashbacks and he is mentioned but he doesn’t get a PoV and we never see him after the timeline events of the last book. I tell you this because I think that......more

Goodreads review by Lauren (Shakespeare & Whisky) on April 11, 2017

Shadowcaster is the sequel to Flamecaster. Gotta be honest... I didn't love it. I think it suffered from middle book syndrome. Firstly, the things that disappointed me: * the two main characters (and my other fave), Ash, Lila and Jenna were barely in this book. Jenna had a few chapters but not much. I......more

Shadowcaster was even better than Flamecaster in my humble opinion. In this installment the reader is introduced to an almost entirely new cast of characters. Some characters from the first book slowly creep their way into the storyline eventually. Also, the timeline at the beginning of the book coi......more
