A Tale of Stars and Shadow opens with Talyn Dynan arriving in Mithranar on a covert assignment, immediately sensing that the glittering winged court hides a web of carefully maintained violence and inequality.
As she trains the royal guard and encounters the masked Shadowhawk, she must navigate loyalties that were never supposed to include the oppressed human folk of Dock City — who are starting to look a great deal like her responsibility.
A gripping fantasy debut with political intrigue, a mystery at the heart of the court, and found-family bonds forged in the most unlikely circumstances.
