Penumbra - Paperback

When gods are real, people become playthings.

For a thousand years Shandiin has lived among the people of Azlatan, biding her time until she can free them from the control of their divine rulers and return to what is left of her world. But even if she succeeds, she cannot stop the Prophecy War that will follow.

Hoping to save the people she must leave behind, she has turned a bright spirit born to mercy and compassion into a warrior. A killer. A King who could win a war.

Her defiance comes with a cost. The strange High King is feared as much as he is respected. Even as his strength grows, so does an invasion of insidious magic undermining the people's trust. Together he and Shandiin face the most powerful god of them all, a twisted being with no soul, whose magic threatens to destroy their entire planet.

When the time comes and Chaos is unleashed, Shandiin must make a terrible choice - to risk everything for the people she has grown to love or walk away from everything and leave them to their fate.
