Where Shadows Lie

Synopsis

<br>"Disabled since childhood, Elenor was content to live in her brother's shadow, besting her cousins at cards and sneaking her girlfriend into her room at night. Now she's next in line for the throne and beset on all sides by factions out for blood. With time ticking down until someone manages to kill her too, Elenor will be forced to choose between accepting her father's despotic rule or risking everything for her late brother's lofty ideals. Meanwhile, from the rainy streets of Lirin to the scorching dunes of the Mondaer Desert, the death of the Chosen One has inadvertently broken a chain of events five centuries in the making. Ancient forces move in the shadows, calling in debts and striking deals. A monster with a thousand faces fingers his knife, ready to kill, and a pair of fugitives run for their lives, unaware of the danger they carry with them." (Source: Amazon.com on 2023-12-21)
