Ten years ago, the shadows came for Kai and left her scarred. Now she’s choosing the one path her family has spent years the Order that trains knights to hunt the darkness that haunts her.

For six hundred years, the magical knights of the Order of the Shield Codex have guarded the Twelve Seals, protecting the world from what lies behind them. Now the Seals are failing, and Kai is about to learn her scars are only the beginning.

The deeper she digs, the more lies she uncovers. The Order’s oldest legends weren’t written to inspire. They were written to bury the past. And as the Seals grow weaker, the truth could shatter everything Kai believes about the Order. But if the Seals fail, the truth may be all she has left.

Fantastic read!

This was my first journey into reading a fantasy book, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a fantastic read! Descriptive writing that builds the mental picture and immerses you in the story. Hero’s and villain’s, adventure and suspense, friends and foes. I can’t wait for the next book to be published! Highly recommend.
