Three cycles … Three cycles is both a short length of time and a long one. Longer when the jackals howl and the storm batters against your flimsy shelter…
The enemies of the Spectral Empire have arrived and traitors have shown themselves. But so, too, has an ancient enemy most have forgotten. Besieged by three distinct attackers, the Spectral Empire finds itself clinging to existence. As tough as two of the enemies are to fight, the third is impossible — the one who you can’t see, yet who devours you and any other living being before it. To have a chance against the traitors and Zar’dakens, the Soul Shadows must go.
But how does one fight a Shadow?
My name is Rylynn Sinclair and I don’t know the answer to that … at least, not yet.

About the author
Catherine Beery
14 books14 followersI am a full time author. My family is awesome and all of them are storytellers in their own ways. My mom is a very talented woman when it comes to art and music. My sister is the athletic one of the family. She is also a budding artist and writer. My dad is a pastor, computer geek, and (yes) an author.
I personally love playing the piano and reading. And, as with any avid reader, I also love writing.
For me, writing is a way to dream with my eyes open. I discover these beautiful and dynamic worlds that challenge me to discover all their secrets. The characters are mostly very gracious about letting me step into their shoes. Others... oh, others are more challenging. These are the mysterious ones that keep me curious and always wondering what they are going to do next. Because, you see, they ALWAYS turn around and surprise me with something I was not expecting. Things that I should have guessed at a long time ago, but didn't. It's thrilling when the pieces click into place.
I want to thank my family for allowing me to talk their ears off about some world I discovered.

Ok book on the series. But it
If you like the author other books in the series you should like this one as well! For me was a little slower to read than the prior books, but still a good read.

Too many misspellings, grammatical errors and illogical twists. An okay book to pass time if you can ignore the many detractors .

There were just a few too many god/Christianity type references in this book for me. No offense to those who enjoy that sort of thing but it detracted from the story for me. Otherwise, it was a fairly good story.
Editing should have taken a higher priority in this book. Some words were missing, spelled incorrectly, or just not appropriate based on context. I didn't notice it to the same extent in the previous two books in this series.
I'll probably read the next book in the series.
