Swords and Shadows — P.T. Hylton

Zane Halloway must join forces with his worst enemy to prevent a war.



After a run-in with one of the pirate Longstrain's deadly widows, an injured Zane Halloway is enlisted for a special assignment. The nation is on the brink of war, and the king hopes a daring assassination of his enemy's enemy will prevent things from escalating.



To complete the job, Zane and Lily will have to join forces with the King's Shadow, the only man in the kingdom with access to the royal armory of magical devices. His name is Jacob Von Ridden. Long ago, he altered the course of Zane's life, and Zane has been waiting for the chance to kill him ever since.



SWORDS AND SHADOWS continues the story of magic, mystery, and murder begun in THORNS AND TANGLES.
