A Preview of “Beyond the Shadows”

ou’re the wetboy.” The man cursed. He was sweating, his broad face
pasty. His bushy black beard quivered as he trembled.
“Tell me,” Kylar said.
“The Shinga said he pissed off some Cenarian wetboy. We were supposed to
kill you if you came here.”
“Where is he?”
“If I tell you, will you let me live?”
Kylar looked into the man’s eyes, and curiously didn’t feel or imagine—or
whatever it had been the other times—the darkness that demanded death. “Yes,”
he said, though the killing rage was still on him.
The man told him of a hideout, another trap, an underground room with only
one entrance, and another ten guards.
With teeth gritted against the white-cold fury, Kylar said, “Tell them the
Night Angel walks. Tell them Justice is come.”
Praise for The Way of Shadows
“What a terrific story! I was mesmerized from start to finish. Unforgettable
characters, a plot that kept me guessing, nonstop action and the kind of in-depth
storytelling that makes me admire a writer’s work.”
