This is the stunning conclusion to the epic "Shadow" trilogy from master storyteller Jon Sprunk. The Northern wastes...a land of death and shadow where only the strongest survive. Yet that is where Caim must go to follow the mystery at the heart of his life. Armed only with his knives and his companions, he plunges into a world of eternal night where the sun is never seen and every hand is turned against him. Caim has buried his father's sword and found some measure of peace, but deep in the north an unfathomable power lays waiting. To succeed on this mission, Caim will have to do more than just survive. He must face the Shadow's Master.
