Shadow of Light

Shadow of Light is a sweeping science-fantasy adventure that begins on Earth and expands into a galaxy on the edge of chaos.Seana Byrne has spent her life surviving. Orphaned young and forged by loss, she grows into a fiercely capable investigator and warrior with instincts she cannot explain-an uncanny ability to sense danger, anticipate violence, and survive what should break her. When the assassination of a visionary billionaire draws her into a hidden conspiracy, Seana is pulled far beyond the world she knows and into an interstellar civilization teetering on the brink of collapse.Across distant worlds, ancient rivalries, political intrigue, and extremist violence threaten to ignite a war that could consume entire systems. Powerful factions move in secret. Terrorists strike at the heart of civilization. Prophecy, myth, and manipulation swirl around Seana as others begin to believe she may be more than human-perhaps even the figure they have been waiting for.Armed with expanding abilities she barely understands, trained by alien masters, and thrust into command aboard a state-of-the-art warship, Seana must decide who to trust, what to believe, and whether she is willing to become the weapon an empire needs. But as her power grows, so does the danger around her-and within her.Blending high-stakes space opera, action, mystery, and coming-of-power adventure, Shadow of Light launches an unforgettable heroine into a vast and vividly imagined universe where destiny is never simple, enemies hide in plain sight, and the line between savior and destroyer may be perilously thin.
