Shadow's Past

When the relic that made a war is unearthed, the past claws back - and Rose must choose between the shadow that saved her and the darkness that would end them all.

Rose escaped the coup, but the war she thought was buried is waking. An ancient relic has been found in J'Teal's tomb, and its wrongness hums with a power that could remake magic itself.

Gerik is back, wounded but hungry and desperate enough to claw through minds and burn memories to find what he needs - and he has his eye on Rose's Anchor. Meanwhile an ancient enemy is unleashed and brutally tears through the landscape as he hunts for whatever will restore Gerik's full strength.

Now Rose must follow ghosts into forgotten vaults, reckon with Seers and shadow-beasts that refuse to be tamed, and protect a relic that burns anyone who touches it - even those who would guard it. If she fails, Gerik will remake the world in fire and shadow. If she wins, she may lose the last pieces of herself.

This sequel to the award winning Shadow's Voice, is the perfect follow-up for fans of Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass, Maria Snyder's Poison Study, and Kristin Cashore's Graceling.
